Phil Kaufman Award
The Phil Kaufman Award was established in 1994 by the EDA Consortium (now the Electronic System Design Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community) to recognize individuals for their impact on electronic design by their contributions to electronic design automation (EDA). The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) became a co-sponsor in 2006. The award has been dubbed "The Nobel Prize of the EDA Industry".[1]
Contributions are evaluated in any of the following categories:
- Business
- Industry Direction and Promotion
- Technology and Engineering
- Educational and Mentoring
The award was established to honor Phil Kaufman, the deceased former president of Quickturn Systems.
