ISQED 2000
The 1st IEEE International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED 2000) was successfully held on March 20-22 at the DoubleTree hotel in San Jose, CA. ISQED 2000 drew more than 300 attendees from the design, EDA and semiconductor disciplines, well exceeding the expectations of the organizing committee. About 20 countries were represented at the conference through papers, panels and tutorials spanning more than 200 organizations worldwide. A great collection of papers from foundries, universities and the IC design, EDA, test and equipment communities provided a tremendous start for ISQED 2000, marking the first occurrence of this truly multi-disciplinary and international conference devoted to the critical issue of quality design.
