CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in Electronic Design Automation

Presented by the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation and the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation


The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation and the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation are calling for nominations for the 2nd Annual A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in Electronic Design Automation. 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 2010 Design Automation Conference.

Criteria

The award shall be based on impact of the paper in the field of electronic design automation published ten years or more before the year the award is presented. The paper must have passed through a peer-review process before publication, be an archived conference or journal publication available from or published by either ACM or IEEE, and be a seminal paper where an original idea was first described. Follow-up papers and extended descriptions of the work may be cited in the nomination, but the award is given for the initial original contribution.

Submission Process

The nomination can be made by anyone who is familiar with the individual's or group's work. Please submit the nomination by email to:

CEDA-NewtonAward@ieee.org

no later than

February 1, 2011


The supporting material for nomination should include:

    • Name, affiliation, and contact information of nominating individual
      The paper and authors to be honored, including biographical information, professional activities, publications, and recognition
      Proposed citation (which SIGDA and CEDA may adjust)
      Description of the impact of the paper over at least a ten year period
      At a minimum, materials should cover these aspects of impact:
      Impact on the research community reflected in citations
      Impact on the practitioner community via evidence of usage of the described technology in an industrial setting
      Impact on the EDA community as a whole via directions and/or spawning new ideas
