CEDA Currents

Various society related news items are presented. The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) provides a focal point for EDA activities spread across six IEEE societies (the Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Computer, Electron Devices, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Solid-State Circuits Societies). CEDA sponsors more than 12 conferences, including DAC, ICCAD, and Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE). Moreover, CEDA publishes IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems and IEEE Embedded Systems Letters, and copublishes IEEE Design & Test of Computers. We are also increasingly involved in recognizing EDA leaders through awards such as the A. Richard Newton Award, Early Career Award, and Phil Kaufmann Award. We welcome volunteers and local chapters.
