TITLE: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ACM PHD AWARD
2000-2001 ACM Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Electronic
Design Automation
Submission Deadline: August 10, 2001
Award Description:
Design automation has gained widespread acceptance by the VLSI
circuits and systems design community. Advancement in computer-
aided design (CAD) methodologies, algorithms, and tools has
become increasingly important in order to cope with rapidly
growing design complexity, higher performance requirements, and
shorter time-to-market demands. To encourage innovative,
ground-breaking research in the area of electronic design
automation, the ACM's Special Interest Group on Design Automation
(SIGDA) has established an award to be given each year to an
outstanding Ph.D. dissertation that makes the most substantial
contribution to the theory or application in the field of
electronic design automation.
The award consists of a certificate and a check for $1,000 and
will be presented at the 2001 International Conference on
Computer Aided Design in San Jose, California. The award will be
selected by a committee of experts from academia and industry in
the field and appointed by ACM in consultation with the SIGDA
Chair.
Nomination Requirements and Procedure:
Each department of any university may nominate at most one Ph.D.
dissertation whose final submission date is between Oct. 1, 1999
and Jun. 30, 2001.
Each nomination package should consist of:
(1) five copies of the dissertation
(2) a statement from the nominee up to three pages in length that
explains the significance and major contributions of the work
(3) a nomination letter from nominee's department chair or dean of
the school endorsing the application
(4) up to three letters of recommendation from experts in the field.
