A full technical programme for DATE09, the major global event which is set to shape the future of the worldwide electronics industry, is now available at: www.date-conference.com
The conference, which will take place at the Acropolis, Nice, France from 20-24 April 2009, has this year received a record number of contributor submissions including a 30 per cent increase in papers in industrial applications.
It is therefore able to offer an outstanding programme consisting of 77 technical sessions and over 10 panel discussions, featuring new research findings which will have a significant impact on the future of the electronics industry and academic research.
The conference will offer significant insights into the future of the electronics industry through keynotes by Mike Muller, Chief Technology Officer, ARM and 2007 Turing Award winner, Joseph Sifakis, Verimag Laboratory, Grenoble, which will be delivered at the conference opening session on 21 April.
These events will set DATE’s focus on complete system level design, including hardware and software, and will provide an outlook beyond the current market conditions.
Another unique feature of DATE is the continuation of linking new research findings to applications. Two conference days have been allocated to this significant theme focusing on two major domains: System on Chip Development Strategies and Multicore Applications.
The two special days will feature industrial panels and executive-level speakers from leading companies in these areas (Intel, Qualcomm, STM, TI, IBM, NXP, TSMC, just to mention a few)
DATE09 will also host a new exhibition initiative, consisting of eight panel sessions and invited industrial participation. These sessions will be open to conference delegates as well as to exhibition visitors.
“Strengthening the link between research, innovation and applications is what is needed in these times more than ever. DATE’09 will be THE meeting place to see and discuss the future of the electronic systems design and test industry”, said Prof. Luca Benini DATE’09 General Chair.
DATE09 begins on Monday 20 April with one full day of tutorials and ends on Friday 24 April with eight workshops on current and emerging issues in design, test, EDA (Electronic Design Automation) and software.
