SAN JOSE, CA –December 3, 2008–
The International Society
for Quality Electronic Design announced today that it is accepting
nominations for the 3rd annual ISQED Quality Award, dubbed as IQ-Award.
The IQ-Award was established in 2007 to recognize individuals who have
made significant and often lasting contributions to the field of quality
in electronic design. The award recipients will be selected from a pool
of qualified candidates from various disciplines encompassing the field
of electronic design such as: circuit and system design, design automation,
semiconductor technology, IC packaging, test, as well as management/leadership
fostering the spirit of quality by instilling and promoting quality
in electronic design.
Recipients of the IQ-Award will be announced
and honored during the ISQED09 luncheon ceremony on March 17, 2009.
The IQ-Award 2009 is sponsored by Mentor Graphics. The nomination form
is on the home page of ISQED at

About ISQED
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 & 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 ISQED09 can be found at:

ISQED 2009 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.
