The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation, also called IEEE CEDA, or Council on EDA, or just CEDA, is an organizational unit of the IEEE. It was started since many of the member societies have a common interest in electronic design automation

, or EDA. CEDA has six member societies, namely: Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems

IEEE Circuits and Systems Society

The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society is a society of the IEEE. It is also known by the acronym IEEE CASS. In the hierarchy of IEEE, the Circuits and Systems Society is one of close to 40 technical societies organized under the IEEE's Technical Activities Board.From the , the field of interest of...

IEEE Computer Society

The IEEE Computer Society is a professional society of IEEE. Its purpose and scope is “to advance the theory, practice, and application of computer and information processing science and technology” and the “professional standing of its members.” The CS is the largest of 38 technical societies...

, Electron Devices, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Solid-State Circuits Societies.

The constitution of CEDA describes its field of interest:

The field of interest of the council spans the theory, implementation and use of EDA/CAD tools to design integrated electronic circuits and systems. This includes tools that automate all levels of the design, analysis and verification of hardware and embedded software up to and including complete working systems.

Activities

CEDA sponsors conference and publications on EDA topics, encourages academic research in EDA, and provides tools to member societies. It also schedules distinguished speaker series, archiving these presentations on the web. CEDA publishes newsletters and updates on activities in design automation.

Publications

CEDA sponsors two of the IEEE publications:

• IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems
  IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems
  IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, often abbreviated IEEE TCAD or IEEE Transactions on CAD, is a technical journal devoted to the design, analysis, and use of computer programs that aid in the design of integrated circuits and systems...
  
  
• IEEE Design & Test of Computers
  IEEE Design & Test of Computers
  IEEE Design & Test of Computers, or IEEE Design & Test, or simply Design & Test, is a magazine published by the Circuits and Systems Society, the Computer Society, and the Council on EDA of the IEEE. It is a magazine, rather than a scholarly journal, and hence has article of general interest to...
