2010 EDAA / ACM SIGDA PhD Forum at DATE in Dresden

The EDAA I ACM PhD forum is part of the DATE Conference and hosted by ACM SIGDA and the European Design Automation Association (EDAA). It 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. Also, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art research in design automation and test. This year we received a total of 54 submissions out of which 42 have been accepted for presentation at a dinner reception. The review process was conducted by a team of 13 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. Peter Marwedel (Chair, 2010 EDAA / ACM PhD Forum at DATE)
