Call for Participation

The Ph.D. Forum at the Design Automation Conference is a poster session hosted by SIGDA for Ph.D. students to to present an discuss their dissertation research with people in the EDA community. It has become one of the premier forums for Ph.D students in design automation to get feedback on their research and for industry to see academic work in progress: 400 - 500 people attended the last forums. Participation in the forum is competitive. In 2009, about 27 submissions out of 90 were accepted. Limited funds will be available for travel assistance, based on the financial need. The forum is open to all members of the design automation community and is free-of-charge. It is co-locacted with DAC to attract the large DAC audience, but DAC registration is not required in order to attend this event.

The 2010 SIGDA PhD Forum at DAC will be held between 6:00-7:30pm on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 in room 204AB of the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA.
