EDPS, the Electronic Design Processes Subcommittee of the IEEE Design
Automation Technical Committee, focuses on design process with respect to
design, design technology, and design productivity for both today's and
coming technologies. The main activities of the EDPS have been an annual EDP
workshop in April and an annual meeting at ICCAD.
This year the ICCAD meeting of the EDPS will be a mini-workshop. Three
papers will be presented to help focus discussion.
See http://www.eda.org/edps/edp00.html for more information on the April
2000 EDP Workshop.

 Gary Smith             Will give an informal update report on the 100nm
 Dataquest, San Jose,   High-End Microprocessor EDA Roadmap, including a
 CA                     brief progress report on some recent EDA
                        applications/tools that are helping to meet that
                        roadmap's challenges. New challenges identified in
                        the latest NTRS/ITRS will be identified and
                        challenges not being widely met will also be
                        discussed.
 Mark McDermott         Will discuss his ongoing analysis of the growing
 Intel Corporation,     design crisis.
 Austin, TX
 David Hathaway         "Standards for Incremental Integrated Design Tools"
 IBM Corporation, Essex This talk will review the need for integrated,
 Junction, VT           incremental design tools, the architectural
                        features needed to support such tools, and the role
                        of standards in developing such tools.
