10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>The International Symposium on Quality
Electronic Design (ISQED), is a premier Design & Design Automation
conference, aimed at bridging the gap between and integration of, electronic
design tools and processes, integrated circuit technologies, processes &
manufacturing, to achieve design quality. ISQED is the pioneer and leading
conference dealing with design for manufacturability and quality issues
front-to-back. The conference provides a forum to present and exchange ideas
and to promote the research, development, and application of design
techniques & methods, design processes, and EDA design methodologies and
tools that address issues which impact the quality of the realization of
designs into physical integrated circuits. The conference attendees are
primarily designers of the VLSI circuits & systems (IP & SoC), those
involved in the research, development, and application of EDA/CAD Tools &
design flows, process/device technologists, and semiconductor manufacturing
specialists including equipment vendors. ISQED emphasizes a holistic approach
toward design quality and intends to highlight and accelerate cooperation
among the IC Design, EDA, Semiconductor Process Technology and Manufacturing
communities.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
