EDA Consortium-, IEEE Council on EDA-Sponsored Award Recognizes Individuals Whose Contributions Impact EDA
(firmenpresse) - SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/16/16 -- Nominations for the 2016 Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Award opened today and will be accepted until Thursday, June 30, announced the (EDAC) and the (CEDA).
The award, established in 1994, honors the late EDA industry pioneer Phil Kaufman, who turned innovative technologies such as silicon compilation and hardware emulation into businesses. It recognizes individuals whose contributions have made a significant impact within EDA in business, industry direction, promotion, technology and engineering, educational or mentoring. Impartiality is provided to all nominees, without regard to race, gender, age or national origin.
Dr. Walden (Wally) C. Rhines, chairman and chief executive officer of , was the recipient of the 2015 award. He was honored for growing the EDA and integrated circuit (IC) design industries through his efforts as a leading voice of EDA and for pioneering the evolution of IC design to system-on-chip (SoC) design.

The (CEDA) provides a focal point for EDA activities spread across six IEEE societies (Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Computer, Electron Devices, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Solid-State Circuits). The Council sponsors or co-sponsors over a dozen key EDA conferences including: the Design Automation Conference (DAC), Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC), International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD), Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE), and events at Embedded Systems Week (ESWeek). The Council also publishes IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design of Integrated Circuits & Systems (TCAD), IEEE Design & Test (D&T), and IEEE Embedded Systems Letters (ESL). In order to promote the recognition of leading EDA professionals, the Council sponsors the A. Richard Newton, Phil Kaufman, and Ernest S. Kuh Early Career Awards. The Council welcomes new volunteers and local chapters. For more information on CEDA, visit:
