2017 IEEE Electronic Design Process Symposium (EDPS)

The Electronic Design Processes (EDP) 2017 Workshop and Symposium on Efficient Design and Manufacturing, in its 24th year, fosters the free exchange of ideas among the top thinkers, movers, and shakers who focus on how chips and systems are designed in the electronics industry. It provides a forum for this cross-section of the design community to discuss state-of-the-art improvements to electronics design processes and CAD methodologies, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves. 

The EDPS was founded by Bill McCallah in 1978 as a key activity of the Design Automation Technical Committee (DATC). The annual EDPS Workshop and Symposium takes place each year in California, and emphasizes both the here and now and the future. 

Attendees of this elite workshop have met each year since 1993. It has attracted some of the most visionary people in the electronics industry and academia as speakers. If you need to know where the industry is and where it's going with respect to the design and development, and especially methodologies and technology of design, you should consider attending this year.
