vibrancy of the exhibit floor."

The ELC reviews all aspects of DAC from an exhibitor, vendor, and attendee
perspective, including conference operations and events, exhibits, attendee
activities, and the technical program. Members this year include:

DAC 2010 Call for Contributions

The call for contributions to the DAC technical program is now open. IC
designers, application engineers, design flow developers, vendor-customer teams,
and students are invited to submit proposals for eight different areas of the
technical program. Visit http://www.dac.com/47th/PDFs/47DAC_CFP.pdf for more
detailed information. DAC is also accepting proposals for workshops and
co-located events.

DAC 2010 Call for Exhibitor Forum Presentations

The call for Exhibitor Forum presentations is also now open; the submission
deadline is January 29, 2010. The Exhibitor Forum is designed to deliver
practical "how-to" information on how specific design technology is used to
solve customer problems. Presentations use technical analyses, figures and data
to convey: the problem a specific product addresses, why this is a new or
challenging problem, and how a specific tool or methodology solves the problem.
Each session is devoted entirely to a specific domain (e.g., verification), with
up to three companies presenting for 30 minutes each, followed by a short
question and answer period. For a list of topics, more submission guidelines and
detailed information on format, please see:
