Conference Highlight on Keynote Speakers
Monday Keynote Session, November 5, 9:00 - 10:00am
Adventures and Opportunities in Cyber-Physical Systems Research
By: Chandra Krintz - Univ. of California, Santa Barbara
Through the convergence of recent advances in device and control systems, sensor networks, data analytics, and cloud computing, Cyber-physical systems (CPS) is on course to transform our society and disrupt the way humans engineer and interact with the world around them. CPS tightly integrates communications and computation into ordinary physical objects and amalgamates them as systems, enabling them to collect vast amounts of data about their environment, to extract inferences and predictions from the data, and to use this information to automate, enhance, actuate, control, and optimize operations and decision making at a variety of scales.

The Future is What You Make It: EDA in the Post-Moore Age
By: Rob Aitken - Arm, Ltd.
Electronic design, design automation and technology have always been linked, but as time progresses and layers of abstraction develop holes or outright crumble, the connections between them necessarily become tighter. It’s not enough to ask how future technology will shape EDA, we also need to ask how EDA will shape technology. The EDA tools of the future will need to deal with heterogenous systems that span more than a single die. They will also need to cover abstractions from device through application software. In addition, the slowing of Moore's law will lead to increased pressure on both design and design tools to provide product differentiation.
Tuesday Invited CEDA Keynote Talk, November 6, 12:30 - 1:30pm
Analyzing the Disruptive Impact of a Silicon Compiler
By: Andreas Olofsson - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
Recent years have seen an explosion in the cost and time required to design advanced System-on-Chips (SoCs), systems-in-packages (SiPs), and PCBs. As part of the $1.5B Electronics Resurgence Initiative (ERI), DARPA is building the world's first general purpose silicon compilers. The effort involves two distinct research programs, the Intelligent Design of Electronic Assets (IDEA) program aiming to create a no-human-in-the-loop layout generator for digital and analog circuits, and the Posh Open Source Hardware (POSH) program aiming to create a high quality trustable open source ecosystem.
