Circuits and Systems Society

CASS is the IEEE technical society for engineering professionals involved with computer-aided design, theory, analysis, and practical implementation of circuits, and the application of circuit theoretic techniques to systems and to signal processing. The CAS Society's global perspective brings information, education and participation to the doorstep of its worldwide membership. We offer an extensive program of publications, conferences, workshops, and technical and educational activities, that encourage an active exchange of information and ideas.

Computer Aided Network Design (CANDE) is a technical committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. CANDE is dedicated to bringing design automation professionals together to further their education, to assist in building relationships, and to sponsor initiatives which grow the CAD/EDA industry. CANDE sponsors a workshop in the Fall to address emerging technologies and to provide an opportunity for the generation of new ideas. CANDE is the sponsoring technical committee from CASS for both DAC and ICCAD.

Special Interest Group on Design Automation.
SIGDA is the ACM technical society for DA professionals involved in the application of the computer to all phases of electrical and electronic design. It sponsors DAC and other leading conferences and workshops as well as many other useful and innovative projects.


The EDA Consortium is the international association of companies that provide tools and services that enable engineers to create the world's electronic products. EDA Consortium addresses issues that are common to its members and the community they serve. Recent accomplishments include simplification of international EDA export regulation and publication of an industry Operating Systems Roadmap. Companies that become EDA Consortium members are eligible for a 10% discount on DAC Exhibit Space. Contact EDA Consortium today about membership opportunities.
