Steven P. Levitan will serve as general chair and provide direction for the 44th DAC Executive Committee. Levitan is the John A. Jurenko Professor of Computer Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh with a joint appointment in the Department of Computer Science. His research at the University of Pittsburgh includes the design, modeling, simulation and verification of mixed technology micro-systems, including sensing, computing and communications functions. Levitan received a bachelor of science Noun 1. Bachelor of Science - a bachelor's degree in science BS, SB bachelor's degree, baccalaureate - an academic degree conferred on someone who has successfully completed undergraduate studies degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from Case Western University and master of science and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts The system includes UMass Amherst, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth (affiliated with Cape Cod Community College), UMass Lowell, and the UMass Medical School. It also has an online school called UMassOnline. , Amherst. He has also served as chair of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery, New York, www.acm.org) A membership organization founded in 1947 dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of information processing. In addition to awards and publications, ACM also maintains special interest groups (SIGs) in the computer field. Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA SIGDA Special Interest Group on Design Automation ) and has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Design Automation Conference since 1998. Levitan was also awarded the Best Paper at the 34th IEEE/ACM IEEE/ACM Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers/Association for Computing Machinery (joint effort) Design Automation Conference, in Design Methodology. He received the ACM/SIGDA Service Award in appreciation for Contributions to ACM/SIGDA in 2005 and the ACM/SIGDA Distinguished Service Award recognizing over a decade of service to ACM/SIGDA and the EDA industry in 2002. "This year's Executive Committee is already hard at work ensuring that the 44th DAC will provide invaluable learning and networking opportunities for the global electronic design community," said Levitan. "With the combined energy, expertise and experience of this remarkable group of volunteers driving it, we are looking forward to a very strong conference in San Diego next June."
