CEDA Currents, News from the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation

EDA Research Vital to Continued Industry Growth For the past 25 years, EDA has moved from systems houses to a new commercially viable industry; but research has centered in academia, where the link to a commercial endeavor is not as tight or as seamless as it is within the semiconductor industry. For EDA to support future design requirements, the current way of doing business must change. Research and industry continuity is a goal of CEDA´s yearly Design Autmation Conference (DAC).
