Experts conduct Workshops on Sunday and Tutorials through the week in these tracks: automotive, design, EDA, embedded systems, IoT, IP and security

LOUISVILLE, Colo. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 4, 2016 — Continuing its dedication to education for designers, researchers, academics and tool developers in the design and automation of electronic systems, 53rd Design Automation Conference (DAC) has released its program of tutorials and workshops for 2016. The 53^rd DAC will be held in the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas from Sunday, June 5 to Thursday, June 9. DAC is the premier conference devoted to the design and automation of electronic systems, offering attendees outstanding training, education, exhibits and networking opportunities.

“Education is one of DAC’s primary goals, and we are fortunate to have so many experts willing to share their knowledge,” said Chuck Alpert, 53^rd DAC General Chair. “The all-day workshops and in-depth tutorials this year -- along with attending presentations, visiting the exhibit floor and networking – will help designers, academics, researchers and developers make the decisions that carry electronic systems into the future.”
