Announcing the 18^th annual

Electronic Design Process Symposium (EDPS)

to be held April 7-8, 2011 at the

Monterey Beach Hotel, in Monterey California

Sponsored by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society

under the Design Automation Technical Committee (DATC)

and the

Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA)

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2011 Electronic Design Processes (EDP) Symposium, now in its 18th year, fosters the free exchange of ideas among the top thinkers, movers, and shakers who focus on how chips and systems are designed in the electronics industry. It provides a forum for this cross-section of the Design community to discuss state-of-the-art improvements to electronics design processes and CAD methodologies, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves.

The Workshop, which takes place each year in Monterey, California, emphasized both the here and now and the future. Attendees of this elite workshop have met each year since 1993. It has attracted some of the most far-seeing people in electronics as speakers. If you need to know where the industry is and where it's going with respect to the design and development, and especially methodologies and technology of design, you should consider attending this coming year.

Please visit http://www.eda.org/edps to see the list of past EDP Workshop speakers and presentations:  2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000.

POTENTIAL THEMES IN 2011:

The Symposium is soliciting papers, and proposals for special/panel sessions that would shed light on the methodologies used for real current and future chip and system designs.
If you have suggestions for themes you want to see, please contact the Symposium chairman at edps@eda.org
