The full technical programme for DATE 2012, the major global event in Europe which will again push innovation in the worldwide electronics industry, is now available at: www.date-conference.com.
The DATE 2012 program is clearly focused on industrial and academic needs. It consists of 56 technical sessions and around 200 papers, plus an executive track featuring 3 sessions with industry-leading executives. The program is completed by Tutorials given by world market-leaders and key scientists.
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."
Event Prospectus for the 15th DATE Conference and Exhibition, March 12-16, 2012, Dresden, Germany.
As DATE’s new concept of choosing the vibrant European clusters Dresden (2010) and Grenoble (2011) as new venues was a huge success and resulted in major growth especially in the Exhibition, DATE has decided to come back to Dresden for DATE 2012.
"Dresden as one of European centers for microelectronics is an ideal location for DATE 2012" said Professor Wolfgang Rosenstiel and General Chair for the next DATE. "The International Congress Center Dresden provides excellent facilities for the conference and the exhibition and is even very close to the historical centre of the famous city of Dresden."
Final Call For Papers for the 15th DATE Conference and Exhibition, March 12-16, 2012, Dresden, Germany.
After DATE 2011 in Grenoble closed doors last Friday, it was clear to attendees, conference delegates; visitors and exhibitors, that DATE’s concept of choosing the vibrant European clusters Grenoble and Dresden as new venues is proving a major success.
The European economy is back to growth; during the downturn Europe’s microelectronics industry has further sharpened the profile of its leading clusters like Grenoble and Dresden. Both of that will be clearly visible at DATE 2011 Conference and Exhibition from 14-18 March in Grenoble, France.

The DATE 2011 program is clearly focused on industrial and academic needs. It consists of 57 technical sessions and around 200 papers, plus an executive track featuring 3 sessions with industry-leading executives. The program is completed by Tutorials given by world market-leaders and key scientists.
With a worldwide reputation as a leading-edge conference, DATE 2011 is attracting key researchers from all over the world to Grenoble next March. The selection of the best and most important contributions out of nearly 950 submissions has been completed, with the DATE 2011 program clearly focused on industrial and academic needs. It includes 7 tutorial tracks, 57 sessions of technical program and an executive track featuring 3 sessions with industry-leading executives.
DATE2011 is well on track and, against the prevailing trend worldwide, is continuing to see high numbers of submissions for its prestigious conference.
"With nearly 950 submissions we have reached comparable numbers as in the record year of 2010," says DATE`s General Chair Professor Bashir M. Al-Hashimi. "This is a clear sign that our strategy of choosing the key European semiconductor sites of Dresden in 2010 and Grenoble in 2011 as DATE venues is proving a success."
Professor Enrico Macii, Program Chair of DATE 2011, adds: "North America accounts for 28% and ASIA for 22% of the submissions, demonstrating the increasing importance of DATE as the leading event worldwide."
The Opening Keynotes will set the tone for the DATE event. "I am delighted to announce that we have two very distinguished figures giving our Opening Keynotes," says Professor Al-Hashimi. "We look forward to welcoming Jean-Marc Chery, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, STMicroelectronics, who will provide a perspective on the global microelectronics industry, and Steve Furber, ICL Professor of Computer Engineering, The University of Manchester, who is leading some of the most interesting academic research in our area."
Highlights of the Technical Program are the keynote talks given by outstanding leaders from industry and research. By featuring two Special Days focusing on topics of outstanding importance, DATE 2011 will also provide important direction to key players in the semiconductor industry and academic research. Each of the Special Days will have a full program of keynotes, panels, tutorials and technical presentations.
