IEEE COUNCIL ON ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION
Welcome to CEDA
IFIP/IEEE 16th International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI-SoC) VLSI-SoC 2008 is the 16th in a series of international conferences sponsored by IFIP TC10 WG10.5 and IEEE CEDA that explores the state-of-the-art and the new developments in the field of VLSI Systems and their designs. VLSI-SoC 2008 will be held in Rhodes Island, Greece at October 13-15. The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and to show industrial and research results in the fields of VLSI/ULSI Systems, VLSI CAD and Microelectronic Design and Test. The deadline for paper submission is March 28, 2008. For more details, just visit the Conference website.
IEEE Council of EDA Sponsored Panel on Ethics During Transitions at ICCAD 2007. IEEE CEDA sponsored a lunch panel titled, "Ethics During Transitions", during the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) Tuesday, November 6, from noon-1:30 p.m. in the Donner Ballroom at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, Calif. The members of the panel, chosen for their wealth of experience and insight, included: Jo Dale Carothers, an attorney specializing in IP Litigation and Information Technology at Heller Ehrman LLP; Penny Herscher, president and CEO of FirstRain; Mona Sabet, vice president and associate general counsel at Cadence Design Systems; Keith Miller, an expert in Computer ethics, and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Springfield.

IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Timing Issues in the Specification and Synthesis of Digital Systems (TAU Workshop).The TAU Workshop will be held at Monterey, California on February 25-26, 2008. The TAU series of workshops provide an informal forum for practitioners and researchers working on temporal aspects of digital systems to disseminate early work and engage in a free discussion of ideas. The TAU 2008 workshop invites submissions from all areas related to the timing properties of digital electronic systems. The deadline for submission is November 26, 2007 and the submission website will open on November 1. For more details, just visit the workshop website.
CEDA Hosts Dinner Reception, Distinguished Speaker Lecture at DAC. CEDA will host a reception and Distinguished Speaker Lecture during the 44th DAC on Monday, June 4, starting at 6 p.m. in the Sails Pavilion at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA. This networking event will include a presentation from C.-J. Richard Shi of the University of Washington and co-author of the IEEE Transactions on CAD Donald O. Pederson Best Paper Award, titled "On symbolic model order reduction . It addresses the problem of reducing a large circuit that contains symbolic circuit parameters to smaller low order models at its ports. Click here to read the Business Wire article.
