EDAA/DATE PhD Forum

The EDAA/DATE PhD Forum offers the opportunity for PhD students to present their thesis work to a broad audience in the design automation and test community from both academia and industry. During the presentation at the DATE Conference it helps students to establish contacts when entering the job market. On the other side, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-ofthe-art research in design automation and test. This year we received a total of 60 submissions out of which 46 have been accepted for presentation at a dinner reception. The review process was conducted by a team of 10 internationally renowned reviewers. Our thanks go to all presenters, the PhD Forum Committee and all who were involved in conducting the review process and arranging and organizing the Forum event at DATE. We also thank the EDAA and DATE organizers and representatives for making this Forum possible.
