Simulation is a fundamental technique that facilitates understanding, analysis and design of an extremely broad range of circuits and systems, including integrated electronic circuits, other types of electrical systems, and mechanical, chemical and biological networks. While a wealth of methods have evolved to serve a vast body of applications, there is an unsaturated demand for delivering higher accuracy, faster speed and novel analysis capabilities with the increase of design complexity, necessities in capturing increasingly complex device and system behaviors, and facilitating more efficient design verification and optimization. There exist significant challenges in developing simulation algorithms and implementations that deliver required efficiency and robustness across a wide spectrum of circuit/system types and at different levels of hierarchy. To address such challenges, it is likely that innovations in fundamental algorithm development, novel application of modeling techniques and paradigms shifts in implementation methodologies are required. This workshop provides a forum for showcasing the latest developments and practices in simulation, interpreted in a broad sense, and covers topics such as (but not limited to): · SPICE/Analog/RF simulation algorithms · Techniques for analyzing and verifying IC power grids · Smart grids and energy efficiency · System-level simulation and modeling of large interconnected networks · Modeling and simulation for emerging nano and bio applications · Advanced device modeling and its implications on circuit simulation · Massively parallel circuit simulation · Formal and semi-formal analog verification · Theory and practice of Fast SPICE · Model order reduction
