Noteworthy:

The CANDE (Computer-Aided Network DEsign) Committee is a technical activity of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation which acts as a working group for electronic computer-aided design. The CANDE Committee holds a yearly workshop to discuss advanced issues relevant to the CAD community. The workshop brings together practitioners, researchers, and managers from industry and academia. To encourage long-range and open discussion, no proceedings are published and no recordings of sessions are allowed. CANDE community members take an active part in identifying topics and organizing sessions. Planning sessions for the workshop are held at DAC and ICCAD each year. Attendance at the CANDE workshop is open to all EDA/CAD professionals. Members of the CAD community are encouraged to contact the chair for more information.

The best known result from the CANDE workshops are their 5-year predictions of topics of interest to the EDA community.

The CANDE Workshop will be held in conjunction with ICCAD on November 4-6, 2010 at the The Sanctuary Beach Resort in Monterey, California.  The program will soon be available.  Due to the nature of CANDE workshop, the number of attendees is limited (roughly 50) to ensure lively discussions and participation.  Therefore, early registration is strongly encouraged! You can register for CANDE as part of your online ICCAD registration.
Note that the date has moved from some previous years.  We have made the date  adjacent to ICCAD, and the location  nearby, to help save on travel expenses.
