SIGDA University Booth at DAC

The 44th Design Automation Conference (DAC) will take place between Monday, June 4th and Friday, June 8th 2007. Click here to see the advance program. The conference will be held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. This year will also mark the 20th University Booth at DAC.

The SIGDA/DAC University Booth has been providing an opportunity for the university community to demonstrate EDA tools, design projects, and instructional materials at the Design Automation Conference since 1987. The University Booth also provides space for the presentation of EDA vendor literature and programs of interest to the university community. The University Booth provides booth space, poster areas, computers, printers, and a high-speed connection to the Internet for participating universities. The SIGDA/DAC University Booth also provides travel grants to the participating students to cover some of the transportation and lodging expense. Interested university groups are encouraged to apply via our on-line registration site.

UPDATE: ACM TODAES Call for papers deadline has been extended to 9/3/07. Click here to view the updated call for papers.

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (ACM TODAES) related to presentations at the University Booth. Submissions are encouraged from research efforts to prototype experimental software systems and/or hardware platforms. The deadline for submissions has been extended to 9/3/07. Click here to view the updated call for papers. Papers should demonstrate how these systems advance electronic design automation and/or offer a significant innovation in their application. Submissions are encouraged that describe the research presented at the University Booth. Additional information can be found in the call for papers, located by clicking here.

Additionally, this year the University Booth is collaborating with the International Conference on Microelectronic Systems Education (MSE) to schedule a Special Session on Microelectronics Systems Education on Monday, June 4, 2007 from 1:00 - 6:00 PM. MSE and DAC presenters and attendees are especially encouraged to participate, but participation is open to all members of the university community. Participants may choose to conduct demonstrations in either a single one hour session on Monday afternoon, or daily sessions Monday through Wednesday. Additional information on this Special Session can be found by clicking here.

The SIGDA/DAC University Booth is sponsored by ACM/SIGDA, EDAC, and the Design Automation Conference, and our corporate sponsors. In honor of our 20th University Booth, we are pleased to announce that the booth will be entirely redesigned thanks to a generous grant from Mentor Graphics. The University Booth is organized and run by the following SIGDA volunteers:
