  DAC Awards       The DAC committee has been sponsoring the DA award since 1988. A second award sponsored by the DAC Committee, namely the DAC Young Investigator Award, has been established in 2008, and will be awarded for the first time during 2009 DAC.

 

ASME Design Automation Award

The Design Automation Award is given from time to time, but never more than once each year, to recognize sustained meritorious contribution to research in Design Automation. This award will only be given after the recommendation of 75% of the members of the Honors and Awards Technical Subcommittee. Nominations for this award can be made by any member of ASME. The nomination package should include specific details of the nominee's contributions to the area of Design Automation, and a critical explanation of why these contributions are significant enough to warrant the award. A curriculum vitae should also be included for the nominee along with appropriate letters of recommendation from other researchers in the nominee's field.

Starting with the 2009 DAC, the recipient will be given $2,500 and presented with a certificate at the award ceremony, which will be held at the ASME DETC/CIE Conference.
