The Design Automation Conference Adds a Design Infrastructure Alley, Broadening the 2018 Exhibition Lineup


The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the premier conference devoted to the design of electronic circuits and systems, will this year showcase exhibits and presentations centered on information technology (IT) infrastructure, which is a crucial element in the creation of electronic systems and components. Behind the scenes of every electronic product design effort is a team of professionals, using sophisticated hardware and software, that ensures that the computing bandwidth, availability, licensing, security and storage needs are in place so that project teams can execute. The design infrastructure ecosystem is made up of IT and design professionals who manage these complex computing resources and the hardware and software products and services that are required so that design teams can accomplish their mission.

At the 55th DAC in San Francisco, June 24 - 28, 2018, there will be five focus areas in the new Design Infrastructure Alley:

  • License management
  • Grid computing
  • Storage management
  • Data security
  • Cloud computing

These design infrastructure topic areas are being introduced as a key component of the broader electronic design circuit and systems focus that is at DAC's core.

DAC invites all companies that are part of this vital and expanding area of the electronic product design industry to participate and exhibit in the Design Infrastructure Alley.



Call for Presentations and Panel Discussions at the Design-on-Cloud Pavilion

The Design Infrastructure Alley features a dedicated Design-on-Cloud Pavilion theater for presentations and panel discussions. A limited number of 45-minute speaking slots and panel discussions are available. Exhibitors located in the Design Infrastructure Alley have priority for the available presentations slots.


All participants in any of the five topic areas (license management, grid computing, storage management, data security and cloud computing) are invited to submit presentations or panel proposals that describe experiences, best practices, innovations, limitations and future directions. Submissions should further the discussion and exchange of ideas in the topic areas and avoid product or sales pitches. All submitted presentations and/or panel proposals must be received by February 21, 2018.

The 55th Design Automation Conference will be held June 24-28, 2018 at Moscone West Center, San Francisco, CA (News - Alert). For more information on DAC, its technical program and exhibits visit www.dac.com.

About DAC

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for electronic design automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community representing more than 1,000 organizations attends each year, represented by system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions 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) and design services providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Electronic Systems Design Alliance (ESDA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE (News - Alert)), and is supported by ACM's Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA) and IEEE's Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA).
