Call For Nominations - 2010 Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in EDA. The ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation and the IEEE CEDA are calling for nominations for the 2nd Annual A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in EDA. The Award is to honor a person or persons for an outstanding technical contribution within the scope of electronic design automation, as evidenced by a paper published at least ten years before the presentation of the award at the Design Automation Conference 2010. The award is based on the impact of the paper's contribution. The deadline for this year's nominations is February 1st, 2010. For more details, just visit the IEEE CEDA Awards webpage.
IEEE CEDA Webcast of the ICCAD 2009 Keynote. IEEE Council on EDA proudly presented a webcast of the ICCAD 2009 keynote "Impact of Cloud Computing on Extreme Scale Analytics Platforms," by IBM Fellow Dr. Hamid Pirahes. This is the first keynote from a major CAD conference that was webcasted to audiences around the world, on Monday, November 2, 9:00-10:30 a.m.
IEEE Embedded Systems Letters - First Issue Available Online. The Council is pleased to announce availability of the inaugural issue of IEEE ESL online. The IEEE Embedded Systems Letters provides a forum for rapid dissemination of latest technical advances in embedded systems and related areas in embedded software. The emphasis is on models, methods, and tools that ensure secure, correct, efficient and robust design of embedded systems and their applications. The journal articles are highly selective (current acceptance rate is below 15%) and appear within three months from submission. If you have access to IEEE Xplore individually or through your organization, no subscription is needed. Journal subscription is available for a flat rate to all members of IEEE regardless of their society memberships. For more details, just visit the IEEE ESL webpage.
EDA Consortium and CEDA Select Dr. Randal E. Bryant to Receive Prestigious Kaufman Award. Congratulations to Dr. Randal E. Bryant on being chosen as the 2009 Phil Kaufman Award recipient for "Seminal Formal Verification Breakthroughs"! This annual award honors an individual who has had demonstrable impact on the field of electronic design through contributions in Electronic Design Automation (EDA).

UC Berkeley Team to Receive First ACM/IEEE A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in EDA. The first recipients of this award are Robert K. Brayton, Richard Rudell, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli and Albert R. Wang for their seminal paper "MIS: A Multiple-Level Logic Optimization System". The paper established the groundwork of modern multi-level logic synthesis and has triggered much follow-up research in the next two decades. The award will be presented during the opening session of the 46th Design Automation Conference on July 28, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Congratulations to Robert Brayton, Rick Rudell, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, and Albert Wang! For more details, just visit the Newton Award webpage.
CEDA Distinguished Speaker Luncheon and Lecture at DAC 2009 CEDA will be sponsoring a Distinguished Distinguished Speaker Luncheon and Lecture at DAC, entitled "Frontiers in Research and Education in Computing: A View from the National Science Foundation" by Jeannette M. Wing, Assistant Director for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, National Science Foundation. For more details, just see the CEDA Luncheon at DAC 2009 announcement.
Call for Participation - Young Faculty Workshop at DAC 2009 CEDA will be co-sponsoring a 1-day workshop at DAC 2009 in San Francisco for new and soon-to-be faculty in the field of electronic design automation (EDA). Topics covered include establishing a research career, the art of teaching an EDA course, seeking tenure, balancing career and life components, and diversity in academia. For more details, just visit the Young Faculty Workshop webpage.
Created 2nd IEEE CEDA Local Chapter: Tunisia chapter The CEDA Tunisia chapter is the second local chapter of CEDA, after the one in the Benelux. The Tunisia chapter has the objective to promote the EDA activities in Tunisia at both the academic level (faculty, students, etc.) and industry. For more details, just visit the Tunisia Section webpage.
