Guest Editors’ Introduction: SBCCI 2021

The Symposium on ICs and Systems Design (SBCCI) is an international forum dedicated to ICs and systems design, test and EDA, held annually in Brazil. Over the past four decades, SBCCI has established itself as an important international forum for the presentation of research results on leading-edge aspects of ICs and systems, such as analog circuits, mixed-signal and digital ICs design, dedicated and reconfigurable architectures, EDA tools, design methods, embedded systems, SoC, and nanoarchitectures, as well as verification and test methods. This 34th edition of SBCCI was initially planned to take place in Campinas, 100 km from São Paulo. However, due to the continued health insecurity of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was transformed into a virtual event that took place from 23 to 27 August 2021.
