Week 47: The Yin And Yang of DAC
By Anne Cirkel - 01 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

In one of my early blog posts I explained that DAC is owned by three non-profit societies: ACM, IEEE/CEDA and EDAC. While the executive committee right now is working on a successful 52nd DAC, planning for future events has already started. Future locations are usually booked years in advance as most of convention center and hotel contracts are signed at least 18 months out. The financial liabi... » read more

Problems Ahead For EDA
By Brian Bailey - 27 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0
