DATE 2012 - 15th DATE conference and exhibition on Design, Automation and Test in Europe

The 15th DATE conference and exhibition is the main European event bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers
and vendors, as well as specialists in the hardware and software design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. It put strong emphasis on both ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware and embedded systems, including embedded software.
Structure of the Event
The five-day event consists of a conference with plenary invited papers, regular papers, panels, hot-topic sessions, tutorials, workshops, two
special focus days and a track for executives. The scientific conference is complemented by a commercial exhibition showing the state-ofthe-art in design and test tools, methodologies, IP and design services, reconfigurable and other hardware platforms, embedded software, and
(industrial) design experiences from different application domains, such as automotive, wireless, telecom and multimedia applications. The
organisation of user group meetings, fringe meetings, a university booth, a PhD forum, vendor presentations and social events offers a wide
variety of extra opportunities to meet and exchange information on relevant issues for the design and test community. Special space will also
be allocated for EU-funded projects to show their results. More details are given on the DATE website (www.date-conference.com).
Areas of Interest
Within the scope of the conference, the main areas of interest are: embedded systems, design methodologies, CAD languages, algorithms and
tools, testing of electronic circuits and systems, embedded software, applications design and industrial design experiences. Topics of interest
