IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, often abbreviated IEEE TCAD or IEEE Transactions on CAD, is a technical journal devoted to the design, analysis, and use of computer programs that aid in the design of integrated circuits and systems. It is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), in particular the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (IEEE-CAS, web page here) and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation(IEEE CEDA, web page here).
The IEEE web site lists the scope of the journal as:
- Methods, algorithms, and human-machine interfaces for physical and logical design, including: planning, synthesis, partitioning, modeling, simulation, layout, verification, testing, and documentation of integrated-circuit and systems designs of all complexities. Practical applications of aids resulting in producible analog, digital, optical, or microwave integrated circuits are emphasized.
Famous quotes containing the words design, integrated, circuits and/or systems:
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.”
—Anne Sullivan (1866–1936)
