Dr. Robert K. Brayton, 2007 winner of the Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to EDA, will be honored with a luncheon sponsored by IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) during the 45th Design Automation Conference (DAC).
The lunch, open to all DAC attendees on a first-come, first-served basis, will be held Tuesday, June 10, from noon-2 p.m. in Room #303AB at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. This event is part of the Distinguished Speaker Lecture Series offered by CEDA, a DAC sponsor.
Dr. Brayton, Cadence Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, will deliver a talk highlighting his career in industry and academia, including challenges he experienced.
The Kaufman Award, jointly sponsored by CEDA and the EDA Consortium, has been presented annually since 1994 and honors an individual who has had a demonstrable impact on the field of EDA. It was established in honor of EDA industry pioneer Phil Kaufman, who turned innovative technologies such as silicon compilation and emulation into businesses that have benefited electronic designers.

About the IEEE Council on EDA
The Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) is an IEEE Council formed in 2005 by the IEEE Technical Activities Board and serves as EEE'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. CEDA's responsibilities include sponsorship of the Design Automation Conference (DAC) and the International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD), technical publications such as the Transactions on CAD and the Distinguished Speaker Series. Members of CEDA include the IEEE Antennas and Propagation, Computer, Circuits and Systems, Electron Devices, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Solid State Circuits Societies.
