39th Design Automation Conference Attracts More Than 9,500 Attendees.Business/Technology Editors Design Automation Conference 2002 BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2002 The 39th Design Automation Conference (DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter ) today announced that more than 9,500 designers, engineers, managers, industry analysts, scholars and exhibitors from leading global companies and universities attended the technical conference held in New Orleans New Orleans (ôr`lēənz –lənz, ôrlēnz`), city (2006 pop. 187,525), coextensive with Orleans parish, SE La., between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, 107 mi (172 km) by water from the river mouth; founded last week. Of this number, more than 4,300 attended the technical program, workshops, tutorials and exhibits. DAC, the electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) industry's leading event, offered an expansive and diverse technical program focused on tools, methodologies and processes for system and integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design. "DAC is pleased to announce another successful conference, both in terms of the technical program quality, as well as in conference attendance," said Bryan Ackland, 39th DAC general chair and vice president of communications systems technology for Agere Systems Agere Systems Inc. was an integrated circuit components company based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, in the United States. Effective April 2, 2007, it was merged into LSI Corporation. . "Although the current economy played a role in attendance numbers this year, initial feedback from exhibiting companies and from conference attendees has been very positive regarding the quality of the show. In essence, it reaffirms that DAC is the must-attend annual event for the EDA industry." Beginning June 18, many of the DAC program audio and visual presentations, including keynotes by Hajime Sasaki, chairman of the board of NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Corp. and Jerry Fiddler, chairman and co-founder of Wind River Systems will be available at www.dac.com. This offering will give design engineers access to DAC information, online, year round. Next year's DAC will be held June 2-6, 2003 at the Anaheim Convention Center Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities. in Anaheim, Calif.
