SNUG France Call for Papers

Share your experience using Synopsys tools and IP at the 2017 Synopsys Users Group (SNUG) in France. SNUG brings together Synopsys users, technologists and industry experts for your local technical conference devoted to the challenges of electronic design and verification.

As a published SNUG author, you will increase your visibility in the local design and worldwide Synopsys User communities. In addition to the professional recognition, you will be eligible for significant cash awards (please check your company’s gift acceptance policy).

The call for papers is closed. The SNUG Technical Committee will review the submitted proposals and notify authors about program acceptance by February 10, 2017. 

We have a preliminary list of topics to get you started, but don't let that limit your ideas or innovation in your submission:

• Analog and Mixed-Signal Simulation (SPICE, FastSPICE)
• Advanced Application Methodologies (ARM, Graphics/GPUs, Processors)
• Advanced Design Methodologies (High Performance, Low Power, Area Optimization, Time to Market)
• Low Power Design, Analysis and Power Reduction Methodologies and Techniques, Static and Dynamic Low Power Verification
• Static and Formal Verification (Advanced linting, Clock and Reset Domain Verification, Timing Exception Verification, Formal Property Verification, Formal Apps)
• Design and Verification Debug (RTL/Gates, Testbench, UVM, Protocol, UPF, Hardware/Software)
• Test Automation (Design-for-Test (DFT), Yield Analysis, ATPG, Diagnostics, Compression)
• Accelerating SoC Verification (Verification Planning & Coverage, Analog-Mixed Signal, UVM Verification)
