Call for Participation: 2021 Design
Automation Conference
The Design Automation Conference
(DAC) is the premier event devoted
to the design and design automation
of electronic systems and circuits.
DAC focuses on the latest methodologies
and technology advancements
in electronic design. The 58th
DAC will bring together researchers,
designers, practitioners, tool developers,
students, and vendors.
The 2021 DAC program can be
found at https://58dac.conference
-program.com/. Registration for
research paper authors is now open.
Early registration with reduced
rates opens 7 September and will go
through 20 November. Registration
rates can be found at https://www
.dac.com/Attend/Registration. Registration
is now also open for HACK@
DAC, a hardware security challenge
contest that begins 4 October. For
more information and to register,
visit the DAC website.
The Ph.D. Forum at DAC is a
poster session hosted by the Association
for Computing Machinery
(ACM) Special Interest Group on
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MSSC.2021.3110155

Call for Nominations: CEDA
Distinguished Lecturer Program
Class of 2022-2023
CEDA invites nominations for its
Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Program
Class of 2022-2023 (https://
ieee-ceda.org/distinguished-lecturers
-program). The DL Program is the
outreach program of CEDA that
brings distinguished speakers from
academia and industry to give presentations
to CEDA chapters, events,
and industries in a variety of venues
and formats.
Nominees must meet the following
criteria:
■ The nominee must be nominated
by a CEDA participant who does
not have a conflict with the selection
process.
■ No self-nomination is allowed.
■ If you are looking for a nominator,
we encourage you to contact the
■ The DL nominee must be a wellrecognized
expert in his/her
field because of his/her research,
teaching, and service activities
and must also be an inspiring
speaker.
Send all questions to the CEDA
DL Program Manager, Mehdi Tahoori
(mehdi.tahoori@kit.edu). Please complete
the form to nominate a deserving
colleague.
Call for Participation: CEDA
Virtual Distinguished Lecturer
Webinar Series
The Virtual Distinguished Lecturer
Program allows us to continue to
serve CEDA participants and the
EDA community by giving them
the opportunity to hear from our
respected DLs. Dr. X. Sharon Hu (University
of Notre Dame) will present
" In-Memory Computing with Associative
Memories-A Cross-Layer
Perspective " on 19 August at 11 a.m.-
12 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). Registration
is free but required via Zoom.
About the Talk
Sharon will present a showcase of
several representative cross-layer
associative-memory (AM)-based
design efforts. In particular, she
will highlight how different nonvolatile
memory technologies (such
as resistive random-access memory,
ferroelectric field-effect transistor
memory, and Flash) can be exploited
to implement various types of AMs
