DATE (Design, Automation and Test in Europe) is a leading event and unique networking opportunity for design and engineering of Systems-on-Chip, Systems-on-Board and Embedded Systems Software and is moving to Dresden, Germany in 2010 from 8th to 10th of March.

Dresden is the Saxony state capital and is an attractive and energetic modern city connecting East and West Germany. DATE is working with Silicon Saxony to maximise quality visitor attendance to the show and increase overall attendance of the event in the region.  Silicon Saxony is a registered industry association of nearly 300 companies in the microelectronics and related sectors in Saxony, Germany with around 40,000 employees. The majority of those firms are situated in the north of Dresden.   The International Congress Centre Dresden is one of the most modern of its kind in Germany and Europe and fully meets the requirements for cutting-edge seminar, conference and event technology.

The exhibition
The DATE exhibition features over 60 of the world’s leading suppliers of development tools and platforms for hardware and software development, showing a range of products from the front-end to back-end chip design through to silicon test and manufacture, from system architecture through to embedded software implementation and networking. The exhibition will run for 3 days in halls on the ground floor of the exhibition centre,  located close to the conference rooms and adjacent to delegate lunches. DATE also arranges a number of special events and features on the show floor to allow visitors and delegates more justification to visit the show floor. An opening night drinks reception, extended delegate coffee breaks, spacious show floor catering areas and an exhibition theatre of industry themed presentations. These activities all combine to make DATE 2010 an attractive place for industry professionals and decision makers to do business.

 The conference
The five-day event consists of a conference with plenary invited papers, regular papers, panels, hot-topic sessions, tutorials and workshops, two special focus days and a track for executives The conference addresses all aspects of research into technologies for electronic and (embedded) systems engineering.  It covers the design process, test, and tools for design automation of electronic products ranging from integrated circuits to distributed large-scale systems.  This includes both hardware and embedded software design issues.  The conference scope also includes the elaboration of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as telecom, wireless communications, multimedia and automotive systems. 

Special Days in the programme will focus on two areas bringing new challenges to the system design community:

Nanoelectronics: Nanotechnology will permeate industrial products in the years to come, and will be present ubiquitously in various forms and means.  In particular nanoelectronic circuits will exploit new materials (like carbon) to produce smaller and faster transistors, as well as integrated sensors with direct electronic coupling to the environment.  The special day will address new nanotechnologies, their integration into electronic systems, and the EDA tools and methods for nanoelectronics.

Cool Electronic Systems: The search for low-power/energy systems is a cross-cutting issue that affects electronic systems designs in many ways, from circuits to architectures, from communication structures to software.  The trend toward energy-conscious (green) system design affects products of various kinds, from the home to the office, from telephone/communications to embedded computing.  This special day will address new methods and tools for circuit and system design at the frontier of minimum power/energy operation.

On the first day of the DATE event, half- and full-day in-depth technical tutorials are given by leading experts in their respective fields.  The tutorials are well suited for researchers, tool developers and system designers.

Friday Workshops concentrate on specialised and novel topics.
