Complexities of circuits and systems, are ever emerging with new challenges and growing demand from all areas. User Design Track unite IC designers, IP core designers, embedded software and system developers, automotive electronics engineers, security experts, engineering managers, and verification engineers from across the globe. Showcase your insights and solutions to key technical and industry issues at this event. 

User Design Track is targeted specifically at practitioners. Hardware designers, software engineers, IP developers, application engineers, and managers/executives from leading companies will present their experiences on effective design flows, methods, tool usage, as well as IP integration and software development practices.

We will feature high-quality papers on topics including high-performance, low power, reliability, and advanced node design solutions and their applications in market segments such as high-performance computing, mobile computing, automotive and IoT.

Whether you are an EDA tool user, hardware designer, software engineer, IP provider, IP core user, application engineer, consultant, or an engineering manager, the User Design Track is an ideal place to meet and share your experiences.

Accepted proposal authors will be asked to present their work in User Design. There will be a ‘Best User Design Track Paper’ award that will be decided by the  User Design Track Committee.
