50th Design Automation Conference Announces the 2013 A. Richard Newton Young Student Fellow Program
LOUISVILLE, Colo. --(Business Wire)--
In honor of the memory of Dr. A. Richard Newton, the 50th Design
Automation Conference (DAC) is sponsoring an expanded Young Student
Fellow Program. The
Newton Young Student Fellow Program actively supports the next
generation by enabling young students at the beginning of a career to
enter the dynamic world of design automation and embedded systems.
The Newton Fellow grantees will receive financial travel support to
attend DAC at the Austin Convention Center, Austin, TX, from June 2-6,
2013. Each Newton Fellow will actively engage in DAC through a number of
events, including meetings with design automation luminaries, attendance
at technical sessions and exhibits, and participation in student-related
events. Following a 50-year tradition, DAC strives to foster a vibrant
and worldwide community of electronic design and embedded systems
professionals. DAC hasreserved funding and logistics support for
approximately 80 fellows. Travel grants will be assigned based on need
and availability. This program is open to young students worldwide, with
preference given to junior or senior undergraduates, master degree and
pre-candidacy PhD students.
"DAC is the most relevant technical conference for electronic design and
embedded systems," said Nikil Dutt, the New Initiatives Chair for the 50th
DAC. "It is important that young students in computer science and
electrical engineering attend the conference and are not restricted by
financial constraints. Not only does the Newton Young Student Fellow
Program address these financial constraints, it also sponsors various
activities during DAC that make for a richer experience and greater
interaction with the EDA community."
To apply for a Newton Young Student Fellowship, applicants must supply a
two-page PDF document describing their planned work and estimating their
expenses. The submission deadline is February 28, 2013 or until funds
are fully disbursed. Candidates will be notified starting March 15,
2013. Full details and a link to submit an application can be found at www.dac.com
About DAC
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier
event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for
electronic design automation (EDA). Members of a diverse worldwide
community from 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, and 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 Design
Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium), and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE (News - Alert)), and is supported by ACM's Special
Interest Group on Design.
Design Automation Conference acknowledges trademarks or registered
