The Design Automation Conference Secures a Five-Year Conference Location at San Francisco’s Moscone Center
The world’s premier event devoted to the design and design automation
of electronic chips to systems returns to the Bay Area starting June
2020 and beyond
LOUISVILLE, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tapping into a resurgent interest in electronic design automation and
the proximity to Silicon Valley, sponsors of the Design
Automation Conference (DAC) announced they will hold the annual
event, now in its 56th year, in San Francisco for five
consecutive years, starting in 2020.
DAC’s sponsors – the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special
Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineer’s Council on Electronic Design
Automation (IEEE CEDA) – secured the following dates at San Francisco’s
Moscone Center to hold their annual event.
- DAC 2020, June 17 – 26 – North and South Hall
- DAC 2021, June 23 – July 2 – West Hall
- DAC 2022, June 15 – 24 – North and South Hall
- DAC 2023, June 21 – 30 – North and South Hall
- DAC 2024, June 19 – 27 – West Hall
After 55 years, DAC continues to be the world’s premier event devoted to
the design and design automation of electronic chips to systems, where
attendees learn today and create tomorrow. A rise in attendance and
participation in the 2018 DAC in San Francisco spurred the sponsors to
return to the city after the 2019 event that will be held in Las Vegas,
June 2-6. More than 6,000 people attended and more than 170 companies
exhibited at DAC 2018 held at Moscone West Center.
DAC is the only event for top-notch researchers to present their
cutting-edge discoveries, the platform for leading field engineers to
share their experiences in using EDA (electronic design automation)
tools to tame the ever-growing circuit and system design monsters, and
the largest exhibition of EDA tools, software, IP cores, and other
related products and services. DAC has been and will continue to be the
must-attend event for the design and design automation community.
“We attend DAC to build our knowledge of what is possible so that we can
continue to innovate and stay at the leading edge of design,” stated
Chris Collins, senior vice president, products & technology enablement
at NXP. “DAC has been and always will be a place we look to for such
guidance. It is a place where we can meet with pioneers, innovators, and
solutions providers to understand the technology and provide feedback on
the technology that will drive our next products.”
The abstract submission deadline for DAC 2019 technical papers closed
November 20, 2018, with a record 1049 abstracts received and 819
accepted papers for review. The number of accepted papers for review for
DAC 2019 has surpassed the last five years of accepted for review papers
by approximately 19%. Among the hot topics for 2019 are submissions in
areas such as machine learning and artificial intelligence
architectures, which increased by 61%.
“DAC continues to evolve to satisfy the needs of our industry. It’s
always been the premier place for presenting EDA research and showcasing
all vendors under one roof,” said John Busco, director, logic design
implementation at NVIDIA. “In recent years, it’s added tracks to satisfy
the interests of working designers and IP consumers. DAC brings together
academia, commercial EDA, and electronic system designers—a true
cross-section of semiconductor design. As technology progresses, and
both our challenges and opportunities multiply, DAC offers an ideal
forum to explore, exchange ideas, and innovate.”
The call for contributions for the 56th DAC in Las Vegas is
now open for the Designer Track and IP Track. The submission deadline is
January 15, 2019. For more information visit: https://www.dac.com/submission-categories/designer-track.
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 175 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual
property (IP) and design services providers. The conference is sponsored
by the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on
Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineer’s Council on Electronic Design Automation (IEEE
CEDA).
Design Automation Conference acknowledges trademarks or registered
