SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Research Panels are organized as sessions within the technical conference program. Panels are intended to be of broad interest and attract a large audience. Panel topics should be interesting and timely, and the panels themselves should be engaging and informative. Each Research Panel is either 90 or 120 minutes long.
A good panel session explores a single high-level issue or question and includes representatives of differing viewpoints. Controversy is appropriate and encouraged. The topic should be relevant to multiple segments of DAC attendees. This year DAC has the following topic areas: Artificial Intelligence, Design, EDA, Security, and Systems.
We encourage the submission of ideas and suggestions for panel topics. The DAC Panels Chair will do his/her best to collaborate with the panel proposers to shape and refine the suggestions and to finalize the slate of panel speakers. Submitters of panel suggestions that are chosen for the conference will be recognized in the final conference program. All panels, panel speakers and moderators must receive final approval from the DAC Executive Committee, which takes into consideration the topics and the participants of all conference sessions to provide a diverse set of topics, participants and perspectives.
Note: All panelist and moderators are required to register for the conference. All registration waivers and exceptions will require the General Chair approval prior to the panel acceptance.
Submission Format
Please submit as much information as possible about your Panel suggestion in the web form:
- The title of the Panel
- Abstract, at most 500 words
- Organizer(s) name(s), affiliation, city, state, country, and email address
- Suggested moderator’s name, affiliation, city, state, country and email address
- Suggested panelists’ names, bios, viewpoints, affiliations, city, state, country and email addresses

- Controversy: What are the differing points of views that will be represented? For a panel to be interesting, it must be controversial.

REVIEW PROCESS AND SELECTION

The Panels Chair will then work with the proposers of accepted panel submissions to finalize them for inclusion in the program. Proposers of accepted panels will be acknowledged in the DAC program (online and in print) and in the DAC proceedings.
