The CANDE (Computer-Aided Network DEsign) Committee is a technical activity of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation which acts as a working group for electronic computer-aided design. The CANDE Committee holds a yearly workshop to discuss advanced issues relevant to the CAD community, bringing together practitioners, researchers, and managers from industry and academia.
The CANDE workshop is a working meeting, as opposed to a conference or symposium. Everyone who attends is expected to interact, so it is kept small by design. All sessions are interactive, by tradition and in practice, and dominated by discussion and not slides. To further encourage long-range and open discussion, no proceedings are published and no recordings of sessions are allowed.
CANDE community members take an active part in identifying topics and organizing sessions. Planning sessions for the workshop are held at DAC and ICCAD each year. Attendance at the CANDE workshop is open to all EDA/CAD professionals. Members of the CAD community are encouraged to contact the chair for more information.
The best known result from the CANDE workshops are their 5-year predictions of topics of interest to the EDA community.
The 2011 CANDE Workshop will be held in conjunction with ICCAD on November 10, 2011 at the The Double Tree Hotel, San Jose, California. Check out the 2011 program, including the technical session details- it’s full of hot topics and expert participants. Due to the nature of CANDE workshop, the number of attendees is limited (roughly 50) to ensure lively discussions and participation. Therefore, early registration is strongly encouraged! Register online for CANDE, as part of your online ICCAD registration.
