46th Design Automation Conference Introduces New User-Focused Technical Presentation Track
Dec. 19, 2008 Submission Deadline for Extended Abstracts
The 46th Design Automation Conference (DAC) has added a new user-focused technical presentation track – the DAC User Track – to its call for papers. End-users, application engineers, and vendor-customer teams are invited to submit two-page abstracts describing their experiences with innovative tool use, or in overcoming current tool challenges, by Dec. 19, 2008. The 46th DAC will take place July 26-31, 2009 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
“The DAC User Track provides a new forum through which EDA tool users can exchange information and best practices at DAC,” said Andrew Kahng, General Chair, 46th DAC Executive Committee. “We are excited to see so many leaders in the EDA user community engaging as members of the program committee that will define the User Track. We look forward to high-quality submissions and, ultimately, valuable user-focused sessions next July in San Francisco.”
Submission deadlines for other parts of the 46th DAC program are as follows: Special session, panel and tutorial proposals are due Nov. 3; submissions for the Student Design Contest are due Dec. 8; and paper submissions for regular and WACI (Wild and Crazy Ideas) sessions are due Dec.19.

Submitting Extended Abstracts to the DAC User Track
Unlike the juried technical paper submission process for regular DAC papers, the submission process for the User Track simply requires developing an extended abstract: a two-page overview of the key challenges, innovations and results. After the submissions are reviewed, selected authors will be required to provide only a detailed presentation – technical papers will not be required for this track.
User Track abstract submissions will be reviewed by a technical program committee comprised of industrial end-users with expertise covering a large range of semiconductor products, design methodologies and tool use. Members of this committee include:
Nitin Chawla, Senior Member of Technical Staff, STMicroelectronics;
Kyu-Myung Choi, Vice President, CAE, System LSI Division, Samsung;
Sorin Dobre, Senior Staff Engineer, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies;
Toshio Fujisawa, Senior Specialist, Toshiba;
Bryan Heard, Director of Design Methodology, QThink;
Matt Moore, Raleigh ASIC Design Center Manager, IBM;
Uwe Muller, R&D Memory Products, Infineon;
Peter Nord, Project Leader, Business Unit Multimedia, Ericsson AB;
David Peterman, Manager, Wireless Terminals Business Unit EDA, TI;
Doug Quist, Director of Engineering, NVIDIA;
Alicia Strang, Staff Engineer, Enterprise Storage SoC Group, Marvell Semiconductor;
and Raj Varada, Principal Engineer, Intel.

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is a premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and silicon solutions
