About the International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design

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 and 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 and 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. ISQED emphasizes a holistic approach toward design quality and intends to highlight and accelerate cooperation among the IC Design, EDA, and Semiconductor Process Technology and Manufacturing communities. Further information about ISQED2010 can be found at: http://www.isqed.org.

ISQED2010 is held with technical sponsorship from the IEEE Electron Devices Society, and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS), and in cooperation with the IEEE Reliability Society (RS) and ACM/SigDA (Special Interest Group Design Automation). The conference is produced and sponsored by the International Society for Quality Electronic Design.
