The Design Automation Conference, or DAC, is an annual event, a combination of a technical conference and a trade show, both specializing in electronic design automation (EDA).
DAC receives approximately 1100 research paper submissions annually. A technical program committee of 266 experts performs a double-blind review, selecting 263 papers for publication in the proceedings.[1][2]
The trade show features approximately 100 companies in the field of design automation such as Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys, Siemens EDA and Ansys.
Over the past few years the conference location has been alternating among Austin and San Francisco. The conference is usually held in June.
DAC is sponsored by two professional societies:
- ACM-SIGDA (Association for Computing Machinery, Special Interest Group on Design Automation) and
- IEEE-CEDA (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation),
in technical cooperation with IEEE-SSCS (IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society).[3]
DAC is organized by hundreds of volunteer committee members from EDA companies and academia.[4]
