Highlights of DAC at ISSCC

Last year, ISSCC introduced Sunday evening sessions in which experts were invited to present the state of the art in topics of special interest. This year, one of these Sunday evening sessions featured papers from the 39th Design Automation Conference (DAC) that was held in June 2002. Papers were selected based on their technical excellence as well as their relevance and interest to ISSCC attendees. The goal was to give attendees a look at some of the latest developments in design tools and methodologies. A similar special session of ISSCC papers will be held June 2003 at DAC, in which DAC attendees will have the chance to hear selected papers from this year´s ISSCC.
