Abstract
The EDAA/DATE PhD Forum offers the opportunity for PhD students to present their thesis work to a broad audience in the design automation and test community from both academia and industry. During the presentation at the DATE Conference it helps students to establish contacts when entering the job market. Also, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art research in design automation and test. This year 47 submissions were accepted for presentation at a dinner reception. The review process was conducted by 17 internationally renowned reviewers.
