CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ( jpg | pdf | png )
The CAD Contest at ICCAD is a challenging, multi-month, research and
development competition, focusing on advanced, 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
announce three challenging problems in different topic
areas provided by industrial companies. Contestants can participate in
one or
more problems. The prizes will be awarded at an ICCAD special session
dedicated to this contest.
Since its inaugural year of 2012, the CAD Contest at ICCAD has been
attracting more than a hundred teams per year (112 teams from 12 regions
in 2015, 135 teams from
11 regions in 2016, and 123 teams from 10 regions in 2017), fostering
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.
