DATE 2027 marks the 30th edition of Europe's leading conference and exhibition on design, automation, test, and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. For three decades, DATE has been bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as well as specialists in hardware and software design, test, and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE places a strong emphasis on both technology and systems, covering ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware, and embedded systems, as well as embedded software.
The three-day event consists of a conference with regular papers, extended abstracts, and late breaking results, complemented by timely keynotes, special days, focus sessions, embedded tutorials, half-day workshops, and multi-partner project sessions. The event will also host the Young People Programme fostering networking and exchanges of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes, and career opportunities for junior researchers. Poster-supported live interactions are available to complement all research paper presentations before, during, and after the conference.
As DATE celebrates its 30th anniversary, the conference continues its tradition of being the place where researchers, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and industrial partners meet to discuss current developments, explore emerging trends, and build the collaborations that drive future innovation.
Conference Scope
The conference addresses all aspects of research into technologies for electronic and systems engineering. It covers the design process, test, and tools for design automation of electronic products, ranging from integrated circuits to distributed large-scale systems. This domain includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. The conference scope also includes the specification of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as sustainable computing, smart societies and digital wellness, secure systems, autonomous systems and smart industry, and state-of-the-art applications of artificial intelligence. Engineers, scientists, and researchers involved in innovative industrial designs are particularly encouraged to submit papers to foster feedback ranging from design to research aspects.
The event is sponsored by the European Design and Automation Association (EDAA), the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESDA), the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (IEEE CEDA) and the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and organized in cooperation with IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS), IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Technical Community (TTTC) and IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS).
Conference Committees
The conference leverages the support of multiple committees to support its organisation. The DATE Sponsors Committee supervises the overall structure and operations of the conference; the Executive Committee designs and implement the yearly programme of the conference, and the Technical Programme Committee is dedicated to develop reviews and select the research manuscripts to be published at the conference.
