48th Design Automation Conference User Track – for Users by Users
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) features the User Track — an exciting forum for design professionals to share their work with other experts. DAC invites systems designers, application engineers, IC designers, design flow developers and vendor-customer teams to submit two-page abstracts for consideration. A typical User Track contribution describes solutions to practical issues related to EDA tools in a design flow. The User Track is part of the 48th DAC, which will be held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, from June 5-10, 2011.
This year’s User Track includes a new Embedded Systems and Software category along with Front-end and Back-end Silicon Design. This reflects the growth in Embedded System design activity. User Track presentations may be problem-specific in scope (e.g., analyzing substrate coupling during floorplanning) or may address an application domain (e.g., designing wireless handsets). Initial submissions take the form of a two-page extended abstract—a quick and convenient format for busy professionals. Abstract submissions are open and run through January 18, 2011. Please visit http://www.dac.com/usertrack for detailed User Track information and submission guidelines.
“The DAC User Track provides practical, real-life information on tool use and best design practices. It is an excellent supplement for the product demonstrations on the exhibit floor,” said Robert B. Jones, Sr. Principal Engineer, Intel and DAC User Track Chair. “Attendees at DAC 2010 rated the User Track as on the most valuable parts of their DAC experience.”
