**** Design Automation Conference 2014 ****
San Francisco, CA
June 1 - 5, 2014

==================================================================
Starting in 2014, the 51st Design Automation Conference (DAC) will feature
an automotive track to bring together researchers and practitioners from the
automotive domain with their counterparts from the embedded systems and
software (ESS) domains and the electronic design automation (EDA) space.
Modern cars have complex distributed architectures with hundreds of
processors, heterogeneous communication systems and several million lines of
software. Designing such hardware and software systems involves myriad
challenges spanning safety, reliability, security, verification, and
certification issues.
This new automotive track will cover the horizontal themes above in
automotive embedded systems to address the emerging vertical areas, such as
autonomous and advanced driver assistance systems, electric and hybrid
vehicles, and electro-mobility. The track will showcase design methods for
automotive systems and software, highlight current challenges and emerging
solutions, and explore the road ahead.
Partnership with the ESS and EDA communities at DAC will drive synergy among
the automotive systems, ESS and EDA communities. Furthermore, it will
provide the automotive community the opportunity to capitalize on existing
tools and methodologies and also to play an active role in defining
solutions for future challenges.

DAC is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits
and systems. Close to 300 technical presentations and sessions are selected
by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent
developments and trends, management practices and new products,
methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and
suite area with approximately 200 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon,
intellectual property (IP), embedded systems and design services providers.
