real-world problems in the field of
Electronic Design Automation (EDA). It is
open to multi-person teams world-wide.
Each year the organizing committee

productive industry-academia
collaborations, and leading to hundreds of
publications in top-tier conferences and
journals. The contest undoubtedly boosts
EDA research and keeps enhancing its
impact.
