Boulder, Colo. -- A day devoted to embedded systems, which includes a panel of top executives from major embedded systems companies and an expanded embedded systems conference program, is among the new features slated for the 37th annual Design Automation Conference, to be held June 5-9 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The conference will again unite electronic design automation, silicon strategists and now embedded systems developers for collaboration on tools and methodologies for effective system and IC design. More than 50 technical sessions will be held in areas ranging from system-on-chip and intellectual property to signal integrity and verification. Seventy papers will be presented on design methodology many of them dealing with deep sub-micron issues. Three tutorials, one panel and five special sessions on embedded design will be held.
