We propose to organise the third seasonal school, continuing our highly successful CASS seasonal school in 2021 on “Intelligence in Chip: Tomorrow of IC” and 2022 on “Intelligence in Chips: Integrated Sensors and Memristive Computing”. Our past workshops were hosted by the Kerala chapter. This year, the German chapter proposes to organise this in its push to reinitiate activities in Germany, in partnership with colleagues from Italy and India.

The 2021 school explored the future design of intelligence in IC while the 2022 workshop explored sensing and computing using memristors on a chip. In the third workshop, we will enhance the system element of intelligent sensing on a chip, particularly based on image sensing. A large number of proposed AI circuits aim to work on images and videos produced by CMOS image sensors, while being bioinspired. We aim to showcase the integration of these two circuit design approaches - that of image sensors and bioinspired computing approaches using novel memory elements of Memristors. We have planned a series of very concentrated seminars lasting 3 days on joint design of imaging and intelligence using traditional CMOS circuits jointly with Memristors. In addition to updates on design aspects of these, we will also concentrate on manufacturability of these devices, and we will train CASS student and wider membership on potential fabrication routes for such systems. In addition to training seminars, we also propose to have case studies of designing such systems from leading academic and industrial groups in the field.
