UC Berkeley Team to Receive First ACM/IEEE A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in Electronic Design Automation

For their outstanding technical contributions, UC Berkeley Professors Robert K. Brayton, Richard Rudell, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, and Albert R. Wang will be the first recipients of the ACM/IEEE A. Richard Newton Technical Impact Award in Electronic Design Automation (EDA).

The award will be presented to these authors of the seminal paper, "MIS: A Multiple-Level Logic Optimization System" at the opening session of the 46th Design Automation Conference on July 28th.

The paper, having established the groundwork of modern multi-level logic synthesis, has made major contributions to research, education and industrial practice.
