FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Engineering Tracks submission process?
To spare experts from industry the many hours of preparation associated with a regular manuscript submission, Engineering Tracks submissions are in the form of a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation. Authors of the highest quality submissions will be invited to present their work in Engineering Tracks sessions at the conference and a poster on the same subject during a poster session. Other authors may also be invited to present a poster during a poster session.
Why Engineering Tracks? How is it different from the Research Track?
The Engineering Tracks are intended specifically for design engineers. This complements DAC’s strong research focus on algorithms and methodology.
Are Engineering Tracks presentations and posters included in the DAC Proceedings?
No. However, posters and/or presentation slides will be made available online if the authors give permission. They will be made available on the DAC website after the conference as a part of the DAC Archive.
Do Engineering Tracks participants have to register for DAC?
Full DAC conference registrants are automatically allowed to attend Engineering Tracks sessions. In addition, both Engineering Tracks speakers and any participants who want to attend only the Engineering Tracks sessions, Keynotes, and the Exhibit Floor at DAC can do so at a discounted registration rate via the “Engineering Tracks” registration package. Registration details will be released shortly.
