Topic 1 – New directions in systems design methods and tools, simulation and validation, embedded software design and optimization for embedded, cyber-physical, secure and learning systems.
Topic 2 – New directions in system-on-chip platforms co-design, novel architectures for future computing in design flows, and power management.
Topic 3 – New directions in logic, physical design and CAD for analog/mixed-signal, nano-scale and emerging technologies (such as quantum-, neuromorphic- or biological computing).
Topic 4 – New directions in safety, reliability, security-aware hardware design, validation and test
In each category, one award can be given. Each award consists of a 1000 € prize and certificate. The awards will be presented at the DATE 2022 conference, where the awardees need to be present.
