- Traditional EDA topics (for example, "How to architect a parallel timing analyzer")
- Hot design topics (for example, "How to design a low-power memory controller")
- Emerging software development topics (for example, "How to get started writing iPhone apps")
DAC reserves the right to restructure all tutorial suggestions.
Due before 5:00pm MT, October 21, 2013
DAC invites you to organize a workshop on topics related to design, design methodologies, and design automation. DAC workshops are considered a central part of DAC’s technical program and span anywhere from two to nine hours. A workshop organizer is responsible for developing the agenda, selecting, inviting and confirming the speakers, and communicating the workshop details to the DAC office. DAC’s responsibility includes the financial management, setting registration fees, coordinating the logistics of the event and publicity. A workshop is not a forum for a single vendor to advertise its technology.
Designer Track/ Extended Abstracts
Call for Designer Track Contributions open October 1, 2013
Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, January 28, 2014
The focus of the designer track is on the design tool user community. While the regular DAC program is focused on algorithms, the designer track allows tool users to share challenges and benefits of different tools, flows, and methodologies. In addition, it provides excellent opportunities for education and networking benefits between end users and tool developers. The designer track differs from vendor-specific user forums in that it is not tied to a specific EDA vendor. Designers and software developers from Intel, IBM, Samsung, TI, Toshiba, Qualcomm, AMD, Freescale, and other leading IC companies will present their experiences on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage. This is an excellent way for designers to improve their “design IQ” in a short amount of time.
Submissions may describe the application of tools to the design of a novel electronic system or the integration of EDA tools within a design flow or methodology to produce such systems. A submission may be problem-specific in scope (e.g., hardware/software-based architecture exploration, analyzing substrate coupling during floorplanning) or may address a specific application domain (e.g., designing wireless handsets). More detailed information will be available on the DAC website on October 30, 2013.
Co-located Conference Proposals
Proposals due before 5:00pm MT, October 21, 2013
DAC co-located conferences are meetings, conferences or other special events that have already obtained event sponsorship from IEEE, ACM, the EDA Consortium or another organization. DAC will provide meeting rooms at the conference center at no cost. The event will be financed and otherwise organized by the submitter.
About DAC
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems and for electronic design automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. Since 1964, a diverse worldwide community of many thousands of professionals has attended DAC. They include system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives as well as researchers and academicians from leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, and methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area featuring leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual property (IP) automotive, security and design services providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and is supported by ACM's Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA).
Design Automation Conference acknowledges trademarks or registered trademarks of other organizations for their respective products and services.
