ICCAD’s Impact in IBM

Over the last twenty years, ICCAD has been a major source of innovative ideas and valuable technical interactions for IBM, as well as a showcase for the many IBM advances in design automation. The quality of papers and presentations has been unparalleled, as is exemplified by the selected papers in this book. As a company that depends on advanced design automation tools for its products, and as an innovator in the design automation arena [7], IBM congratulates ICCAD on its 20th Anniversary and applauds the authors, tutorial presenters, and program and executive committees that have made ICCAD the best technical conference in design automation.
