49th Design Automation Conference (DAC) Solicits Speakers’ Bureau Nominations

The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the premier conference devoted to design and design automation of electronic systems, is soliciting industry experts and thought leaders for participation in invited sessions, panels and other events at the 49th DAC.

The experts will be entered in the DAC Speakers’ Bureau, which acts as the resource center from which the DAC Executive Committee can contact interesting and experienced speakers from all areas of EDA for participation at the 49th DAC. Third-party nominations, highlighting prior presentations by the nominated speaker that generated substantial audience interest, are especially appreciated. Self-nominations are also accepted.

The DAC Executive Committee is looking for experts in the following areas of expertise:

• Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF
• Beyond Die-Integration and Package/Hybrid/Board Design
• Circuit Simulation and Interconnect Analysis
• Embedded HW Design and Applications
• Embedded SW Tools and Design
• FPGA Design Tools and Applications
• High-Level Synthesis
• Logic Synthesis and Circuit Optimization
• New or Emerging or Specialized Design Technologies
• Power Analysis and Low-Power Design
• System-Level Communication and Networks on Chip
• Timing Analysis and Design for Manufacturability
• Physical Design and Manufacturability
• Signal Integrity and Design Reliability
• System-Level Design and Co-Design
• Testing
• Verification

Nominations can be made at http://www.dac.com/speakers+bureau.aspx. The 49th DAC will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, from June 3-7, 2012.

“As DAC Executive Committee members evaluate the sessions and submissions for the technical program, it is useful to have a reservoir of experienced and well-regarded speakers from which to draw,” said Chuck Alpert of IBM Corporation, Panel Chair, 49th DAC Executive Committee. “Speakers’ Bureau nominations guarantee that we have immediate access to information on accomplished speakers with a broad range of technical and business expertise.”

About DAC

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for electronic design automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community representing more than 1,000 organizations attends each year, represented by system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area with approximately 200 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual property (IP) and design services providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and is supported by ACM's Special Interest Group on Design.
