The Ph.D. Forum at the Design Automation Conference is a poster session hosted by ACM SIGDA for Ph.D. students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the EDA community. It has become one of the premier forums for Ph.D. students in design automation to get feedback on their research and for industry to see academic work in progress: hundreds of people attended the last forums. Participation in the forum is competitive with acceptance rate of around 30%. Limited funds will be available for travel assistance, based on financial needs. The forum is open to all members of the design automation community and is free-of-charge. It is co-located with DAC to attract the large DAC audience, but DAC registration is not required in order to attend this event.

All presentations selected to be presented at the DAC Ph.D. Forum are eligible to apply for some travel support as well as for getting awarded with a Best Presentation Award. Corresponding information on how to apply for travel support will be provided later to all accepted presenters (however, please note that travel support can only be given to a selected amount of presenters and will only cover a fraction of the actually needed travel costs). The Best Presentation Award is selected by a dedicated committee at the Ph.D. Forum (taking the submission as well as the actual presentation into account). The same CoI guidelines as for submission evaluation apply.
