About the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation
The Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) bridges gaps between academia, industry, and government. Our mission is to support excellence in the leadership and stewardship of transformational technologies and organizations.
Field of Interest
CEDA Field of Interest spans the theory, implementation, and use of EDA/CAD tools to design integrated electronic circuits and systems. This includes tools that automate all levels of the design, analysis, and verification of hardware and embedded software up to and including complete working systems.
Mission and Actions
Our mission is pursued through the following actions carried out by the Council:
- Conferences, which promote scientific excellence by sponsoring leading conferences where the community can present and discuss innovative ideas.
- Publications, which foster the dissemination of knowledge and provide foundations for professionals, practitioners, and academics.
- Education, which facilitates learning by providing expertise throughout an engineer’s career, from novices to experienced leaders.
- Networking, which creates opportunities for peer-to-peer learning within our communities, enabling transformational leaders to learn from one another.
