The DAC User Track, now in its second year, focuses on significant contributions from the EDA tool user community. In contrast to the traditional focus at DAC on algorithmic and methodology contributions, this track aims to share challenges and benefits of tool usage and provides educational and networking benefits for end users as well as tool developers. The User Track differs from vendor-specific user forums in that it is not tied to a specific EDA vendor.

The DAC 2010 User Track seeks submissions that highlight the challenges and benefits of EDA tool usage. The tools used may be from EDA vendors, developed in-house, or the result of combining one or more point tools.

For complete details and submission guidelines, please go to the DAC User Track information page.
