NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 8, 2005—
The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) Society
has joined the IEEE Council for Electronic Design Automation (CEDA),
Alfred Dunlop, CEDA's president, announced today.
It joins five other IEEE societies that form CEDA, which serves as
the focal point for IEEE's multiple EDA disciplines. Societies are the
Antennas and Propagation Society, the Circuits and Systems Society,
the Computer Society, the Electron Devices Society and the Solid State
Circuits Society.
"Design automation is a key technology for the electronics
industry and CEDA is providing a useful forum of information exchange
for IEEE members who are part of this community," says Michal Odyniec
who heads a Technical Committee on Computer Aided Design within MTT.
"It's for this reason that we have joined forces with the five other
IEEE societies to support CEDA and help it realize its charter."
Adds Dunlop: "We welcome the endorsement of MTT and look to it and
the other five IEEE societies for guidance as we set CEDA's
direction."
About the Council on EDA
The Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) is IEEE's focal
point for multiple EDA disciplines. Its goal is to bring increased
value to IEEE members by coordinating EDA activities, enabling new
initiatives, fostering interdisciplinary research and recruiting young
talent to EDA. It also will increase visibility for IEEE-sponsored EDA
events such as the Design Automation Conference (DAC) and
International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD) and its
technical publications. Its charter spans theory, implementation and
use of computer aided design (CAD) tools to design integrated
electronic circuits and systems. Its website is located at:
