Design, Automation, and Test in Europe

In 2007 The Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) conference celebrated its tenth anniversary. As a tribute to the chip and system-level design and design technology community, this book presents a compilation of the three most influential papers of each year. This provides an excellent historical overview of the evolution of a domain that contributed substantially to the growth and competitiveness of the circuit electronics and systems industry.The Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) conference celebrated in 2007 its tenth anniversary.
