ELECTRONIC DESIGN PROCESSES (EDP) 2009 – CALL FOR PAPERS

APRIL 9^th-10^th, 2009

 

MONTEREY BEACH HOTEL, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA

 

The Electronic Design Processes (EDP) Workshop provides a forum for a cross-section of the design community to discuss state-of-the-art electronic design processes and CAD methodologies. The workshop focuses on the improvement of the overall design process, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves. Please visit http://www.eda.org/edps to see the list of past EDP Workshop speakers and presentations:  2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000.
