    A SHORT HISTORY OF A SHORT HISTORY OF CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS A SHORT HISTORY OF A SHORT HISTORY CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS CIRCUITS AND Franco Maloberti and Anthony C. Davies (Editors) SYSTEMS After an overview of major scientific discoveries of the 18th and 19th Franco Maloberti and Anthony C. Davies (Editors) centuries, which created electrical science as we know and understand it and led to its useful applications in energy conversion, transmission, manufacturing industry and communications, this Circuits and Systems History book fills a gap in published literature by providing a record of the many outstanding scientists, mathematicians and engineers who laid the foundations of Circuit Theory and Filter Design from the mid-20th Century. Additionally, the book records the history of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society from its origins as the small Circuit Theory Group of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE), which merged with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) to form IEEE in 1963, to the large and broad-coverage worldwide IEEE Society which it is today. Many authors from many countries contributed to the creation of this book, working to a very tight time-schedule. The result is a substantial contribution to their enthusiasm and expertise which it is hoped that readers will find both interesting and useful. It is sure that in such a book omissions will be found and in the space and time available, much valuable material had to be left out. It is hoped that this book Anthony C. Davies (Editors) Franco Maloberti and will stimulate an interest in the marvellous heritage and contributions that have come from the many outstanding people who worked in the Circuits and Systems area.

  • General Chair's Welcome
    GENERAL CHAIR’S WELCOME Welcome to the 42nd Design Automation Conference and the city of Anaheim! More than ever, DAC is the place where researchers and developers, industry and academia, exhibitors and their customers come to learn about the latest breakthroughs, the latest products, and the latest business deals in electronic design automation. In addition to the industry luminaries and the best and the brightest innovators, DAC has the highest densi- ty of customers who make buying decisions of any similar conference. The thousands of attendees – sys- tem and chip designers, tool developers, analysts, executives, faculty, and students – are a diverse group who make DAC the place to be, the one place to meet your customers and suppliers, your colleagues and competitors, your former students, employees, and managers! You will find others with common interests and concerns, learn about new ideas in the technical sessions and new products on the exhibit floor, and get a view of trends, challenges, and solutions in electronic design automation. Your participation is limited only by your time and stamina. This year’s Tuesday keynote speaker is Bernard S. Meyerson, IBM Fellow, Vice President, and Chief Technologist of IBM’s Systems and Technology Group, who will discuss the direction of design as scaling ends. Dr. Meyerson was named by EE Times as one of thirteen people “who are influencing the course of semiconductor development technology and taking it into realms that exceed the bounds set by the inven- tors of the transistor more than fifty years ago.” On Thursday, Ronald A. Rohrer, Wilkoff Chair University Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and a design automation entrepreneur, will discuss innovation in the EDA industry.
