Programme Areas

Special Days on Emerging Topics

The scientific research track is complemented by a set of sessions focusing on emerging topics, bringing new challenges to the community with presentations and interactions on interesting and timely issues.

Special Day "Quantum Computing"

Quantum computing is rapidly evolving from a scientific vision into a transformative technology with the potential to reshape science, industry, and society. Its continued advancement depends not only on breakthroughs in quantum hardware and algorithms but also on progress in complementary disciplines that have long been central to the DATE community, including design automation, embedded systems, embedded software, system architecture, and hardware/software co-design. These areas are essential for building scalable, reliable, and efficient quantum computing platforms, while quantum computing itself offers new opportunities to address complex design, optimization, verification, and simulation challenges that arise across the electronic design automation and embedded systems landscape. Strengthening these mutual synergies is therefore key to accelerating innovation in both fields.

The Quantum Computing Special Day at DATE 2027 will provide a dedicated forum to explore these opportunities through a diverse program comprising a keynote address, focus sessions, panel discussions, industrial sessions, and tutorials. Bringing together leading researchers, industrial innovators, technology providers, and representatives of governmental agencies, the event will foster interdisciplinary dialogue, highlight emerging research directions, and identify collaborative pathways that can advance quantum computing while creating new opportunities for the broader DATE community.

Special Day "AI4EDA vs AI-Native EDA: Reform or Revolution?"

Every EDA vendor has an AI slide deck now. Almost none of them agree on what "AI-native" actually means, and that's not a branding problem — it's a fight over the future of the design flow. On one side: AI4EDA pragmatists, bolting machine learning onto three decades of hyper-reliable, tape-out-proven tools, because nobody wants to be the engineer who explains a failed spin to their VP with "well, the foundation model suggested it." On the other: AI-native revolutionaries who think incremental ML is a band-aid on a broken paradigm, and that agentic workflows and foundation models should replace the design stack outright — legacy tooling be damned.

Both camps have real evidence and real skin in the game. This Special Day is where they answer to each other, in public. To this end, a keynote and a set of invited special session talks will showcase and defend different positions with data. Afterwards, a panel discussion brings these perspectives together to explore areas of agreement, friction, and the road ahead.

Focus Sessions

Focus Sessions can take one of two forms:

  • Panels, discussing visionary and controversial issues or
  • Hot-Topic Sessions, focusing on the introduction and discussion of new R&D problems, addressing trends in the technical domains that are of interest to conference participants. As a rule of thumb, no more than four speakers per session should be planned for each Hot-Topic Session.

Focus Session proposals must consist of an extended summary describing the topic, the authors/speakers and the format. In case of acceptance, proposers of accepted Focus Sessions will be asked to submit a final description of the session.

It is the responsibility of the Focus Session proposers/organiser(s) to ensure that the deadlines are met and all camera-ready manuscripts from their Focus Session meet the editorial standards of the DATE proceedings. The Focus Session Co-Chairs may decline publication of the final manuscripts in the DATE proceedings if the above responsibility is not fulfilled. Accepted or invited Focus Session speakers are required to register for the conference.

Submission Instructions – Focus Sessions

Focus Session proposals must consist of an extended summary, describing the topic, the authors/speakers and the format. Each proposal should name a chair and a co-chair. The chair and co-chair are responsible for the preparation and the monitoring of the session; they cannot be selected among the moderators/panellists, or speakers/presenters. Speakers and presentation/paper titles must be clearly provided in the proposal and cannot be modified. Proposals should be submitted using the provided Focus Session Proposal template.

In case of acceptance, Hot-Topic Session presenters may optionally select to submit one manuscript for each speaker, or a single collective paper representing the whole session. A paper can be of maximum 6 pages, plus 1 page for references. Such papers will undergo a review by at least 2 experts in the session’s topic, and feedback will be provided to the authors for possible necessary revisions. Such feedback should be addressed in preparing a final camera-ready manuscript for publication.

Panel Sessions are allowed at most one (1) page for a summary position statement for each panellist. Such statements will be included in the conference proceedings.

All focus session paper/abstract titles must begin with "Focus Session: …".

Embedded Tutorials

Tutorial sessions are designed to provide audiences with an introduction to important topics in the DATE technical areas as well as hands-on tutorials on design automation tools. Early career professionals as well as graduate students will benefit from the introductory knowledge about important topics and tools. Mid-career professionals can attend tutorials to expand their horizons. Embedded tutorials will be offered in 90-minute sessions embedded within the 3-day programme of DATE. We welcome proposals for tutorial presentations spanning all of the DATE technical topic areas.

Tutorials on selected topics shall be offered by leading experts in their respective fields.

The conference covers one 1-day registration ticket for each accepted tutorial to be assigned to one of the presenters. Other tutorial presenters are required to register for the conference.

Submission Instructions – Embedded Tutorials

The submission should motivate the topic and its relevance for both academia and industry, specify whether it covers foundational topics or cutting-edge ones, describe the target audience (expected type of attendees? expected number? alignment with typical DATE audience?), the reason for a tutorial (why a tutorial?, why now?). Hands-on tutorials are welcome. Moreover, the submission should include a brief abstract with a list of learning objectives, and a clear plan (organisation in sessions, possible speakers, what will be done to attract the audience), and the DATE topic to which it is more closely related. The submission should include the list of organizers and presenters with a short description of their experience in the topic of the tutorial and organizing/presenting tutorials. Note that this is an important evaluation criterion and hence no changes to the list of presenters are allowed once a tutorial is accepted. As the tutorials will be embedded in the main conference programme and delivered in person, hands-on content and embedded activities are encouraged. The conference targets a few top-quality, well-attended tutorials. In particular, we look for hands-on and tutorials on fundamental concepts, which should be clearly identified in the proposal. Extended conference talks will not be accepted as tutorials. Marketing of company tools is also not accepted. A tutorial submission example is available here for download.

A tutorial proposal should be submitted by the submission deadline indicated in the key dates table as a PDF file. If a tutorial submission is accepted, final information about the tutorial structure (confirmed speakers, final abstract, final agenda) must be provided by the CONFIRMED PLAN AND SPEAKERS deadline as listed in the key date table. Tutorial hand-out material (e.g., consisting of all slides and background reading material) must be uploaded as a single PDF or ZIP file at the DATE website by the final materials deadline. Please note that handout materials will be made available to tutorial attendees only.

Late Breaking Results

The DATE conference provides the community with an opportunity to present new and exciting contributions for submission as Late Breaking Results (LBR) extended abstracts. LBR abstracts should cover new research relevant to one of DATE’s research topics. Two types of abstracts can be submitted:

  1. breakthrough approaches or ways to solve a known problem from a novel research angle
  2. breakthrough results, where sufficient work has been accomplished to indicate the viability of the work

Prospective authors are invited to submit Late Breaking Results extended abstracts describing original and innovative work.

To promote a successful LBR forum, LBR submissions will be peer-reviewed, through a double blind-review process, by a broad-expertise Technical Programme Committee. Manuscripts should not include authors’ names nor affiliations. Authors are expected to follow all reasonable efforts to ensure that their submission is compliant with the double-blind review process. Please note that the Late Breaking Results deadline is not an extension of the research paper submission deadline. Accepted LBR submissions will be presented at dedicated technical sessions focussing on live interactions around the accepted work with the goal of gathering feedback and promoting exchanges of ideas with the DATE community.

Submission Instructions – Late Breaking Results

Late Breaking Results (LBR) submissions should consist of a 2-page extended abstract, with the option of using one additional page for bibliographic references only. Authors should use one of the templates provided on the DATE website and prepare a blind submission by the final paper deadline listed in the key dates table.

Young People Programme

The DATE Young People Programme (YPP) is embedded in the conference and dedicated to the career development of young DATE attendees, and to forging connections with sponsoring companies and academic and research centres. The Young People Programme comprises three types of engagements: Career Fair, University Fair and PhD forum. For a full description of YPP events, please refer to the dedicated webpage: https://www.date-conference.com/ypp.

Career Fair

The Career Fair is a venue to prepare junior researchers and electronic system design enthusiasts for future careers, and to advertise new and upcoming open positions in universities, research centres, and industry.

The Career Fair will include two main activities. First, universities, research centres, and companies will have the opportunity to introduce themselves with a brief pitch presentation, highlighting their working culture, recent activities, and open positions. This phase will be followed by an informal networking event, where junior DATE attendees will be able to move through posters and standing tables by the presenters to ask questions, share their CV, or plan interviews and/or future exchanges and meetings.

The Career Fair is organised into two tracks:

  • the Academic Track: for the presentation of new and upcoming research initiatives entailing academic open positions, targeting universities and research centres. Interested established academics are invited to submit a 1-page abstract description of their latest research plans and their respective open position(s) to the submission link indicated in the key dates table.
  • the Industry Track is for companies interested in sponsoring the YPP, to foster connections with young and motivated researchers. Interested companies should contact yppatdate-conference [dot] com for information on sponsoring options.

University Fair

The University Fair is a channel to foster the transfer of mature academic work to a large audience. Interested academic researchers are invited to submit a 1-page abstract description of their pre-commercial research results and prototypes. Accepted submissions will have the opportunity to present their work and demonstrate their prototype in an in-person interactive setting during the demo. The abstract must be uploaded at the link indicated in the key dates table by the corresponding deadline.

PhD Forum

The PhD Forum is a poster session hosted by the European Design Automation Association (EDAA), the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (IEEE CEDA).
