Technical Program Opened to Best User Group Papers
Are you a designer who presented a paper at a User Group this year? If so, DAC wants to hear from you! The DAC Technical Committee is developing a special session (or two) based on this year’s Best of User GroupS –– or BUGS –– presentations to showcase relevant advances in state-of-the-art design methodologies. The session will highlight the most interesting presentations from vendor-specific user groups held in 2007. Papers of two-six pages in length should describe a creative application of a design flow or a novel EDA tool. A 25-minute presentation during DAC should offer an in-depth technical description of interest to a wide variety of IC designers.
The deadline to submit a proposal is Monday, December 3.

New DAC Website Features Speakers Bureau
Sachin Sapatnekar
Panel Chair
45th Design Automation Conference
The DAC website now includes a Speakers Bureau section, a short form that will be used to help match well-qualified speakers to appropriate panel topics. This new resource is intended to reduce the barrier to entry for potential panelists who may not be part of any formal proposal and will supplement the more traditional route where proposers suggest a panel topic and a full slate of speakers.
Registration is open to everyone, though preference will be given to experienced speakers with relevant technical and business expertise. Nominations, including self-nominations, are invited. Please visit: http://www2.dac.com/data2/45th/45paneltuthot.nsf/speakers%20bureau?openform
