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 ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation are calling for nominations for the 5th 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 Design Automation Conference 2013. The award is based on the impact of the paper’s contribution.
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.
Closing date on submissions: Feb 1, 2013
Submission Process
The nomination can be made by anyone who is familiar with the individual’s or group’s published work. Please submit the nomination by email to:
The supporting material for nomination should include:
- Name, affiliation, and contact information of nominating individual
- The nominated paper and authors to be honored, including their 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
- More precisely, at the minimum, the nomination letter should address the following questions:
- What is the main category of impact for the nominated paper? Choose one of three categories: technical/scientific research impact, industrial/commercial product impact, or broad impact to the EDA community
- What advancements have been enabled by the ideas presented in the paper? Include evidence of follow-up research as reflected in citations, evidence of usage of the described technology in an industrial setting, or evidence of starting new directions and/or spawning new ideas as appropriate
