DATE2012 again was able to continue with the very high number of submissions for its conference, thus further strengthening its worldwide leadership. "With 950 submissions we even exceeded the very good level of DATE 2011" says DATE`s General Chair Professor Wolfgang Rosenstiel. "This shows that DATE has established a sustained success story with its concept of choosing the key European semiconductor sites of Grenoble in 2011 and of Dresden in 2010 and again in 2012 as DATE venues," Professor Lothar Thiele, Program Chair of DATE 2012, adds: "The boost in submissions by 37% and 18% in the Embedded Systems Software and the Applications Track reflects the key importance of software and applications for a wealthy economy and underlines the leading role of DATE in these increasingly important fields."
