ELECTRONIC DESIGN PROCESSES (EDP)
2008 – CALL FOR PAPERS
APRIL
17-18th, 2008
MONTEREY
BEACH HOTEL, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA

The Electronic Design Processes (EDP) Workshop provides a forum for a cross-section of the design community to discuss state-of-the-art electronic design processes and CAD methodologies. The workshop focuses on the improvement of the overall design process, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves. Please visit http://www.eda.org/edps to see the list of past EDP Workshop speakers and presentations: 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000.

EDP 2008 is over; we hope to see you next year!
The workshop was successful, with many interesting talks and a lot of discussion. Richard Goering of SCDSource noted "Of these, EDP is probably the least familiar to engineering audiences – and it's by far the smallest in terms of attendance. But if you want to hear about the latest in design automation technology in an interactive, informal setting, it's the place to be. This year's EDP workshop had a strong focus on the challenges of multicore development and programming, and two articles below cover some insightful and provocative sessions on that topic."
THEMES IN 2008: Portable Devices, Design for Manufacturing
We
solicit papers and proposals for special/panel sessions that shed light on the
methodologies used for real current and future chip and system designs. Topics
include but are not limited to:
• Methodology for the rapid design of
embedded/portable systems
• Best practices and experiences with
Power or DFM Methodology focus
• Multi-voltage Design and Power
Management, Power Analysis
• Restrictive Design Rules (RDR) Impact
on DFM
• Process/Device Characterization,
Modeling implications
• Standards Activity: Helping or
Hurting?
• Status of EDA Industry
• Multi-Core Programming/Implications
• Flow Integration, Scaling, and
Migration
• Human Issues: Large & Distributed
Teams, Off-shoring, Training and Education
• Key Trends: Future Methodology Needs, Impact of Design Manufacturing Interface, Interoperability, Impact of Web, Licensing Models, and Platform
PAPER
