ACM SIGDA/IEEE CEDA University Demonstration (UD, previously University Booth) is an excellent opportunity for university researchers to showcase their results and to interact with participants at DAC, The Chips to Systems Conference (DAC). Presenters and attendees at DAC are especially encouraged to participate, but participation is open to all members of the university community. The demonstrations include new EDA tools, EDA tool applications, design projects, and instructional materials.
The University Demonstration will be held together with the Ph.D. Forum at DAC.
