October 27, 2009 —The EDAA/ACM PhD forum is part of the DATE Conference and hosted by ACM SIGDA and the
European Design Automation Association (EDAA). The forum is a great opportunity for PhD students to present their thesis work to a broad audience in the system design and design automation community from both industry and academia. The forum may also help students to establish contacts for entering the job market. In addition, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art in system design and design automation.
Eligibility
The following two classes of students are eligible:
1. students who have finished their PhD thesis within the last 12 months and
2. students who are close to finish to their thesis work.
Benefits
- a poster presentation at the PhD Forum
