He also founded the Center for
Reliable Computing (CRC) at Stanford University. The CRC played a
major role in advancing the fields
of computer reliability and testing,
from ad hoc pursuits to front-line
academic and industry research.
Synopsys Chair Aart De Geus stated,
"As a young student learning about Ed's
work, all the way to today appreciating
his contributions in making the 'digital
revolution' not a slogan but a worldchanging reality, we realize the impact
of Ed's contribution on our field and
our own destiny."

Giovanni De Micheli Wins EDAA
Lifetime Achievement Award
The European Design and Automation
Association (EDAA) Lifetime Achievement Award is given to individuals who
have made outstanding contributions to
the state of the art in electronic design,
automation, and testing of electronic
systems during their career. To be eligible, candidates must have made inno-

vative contributions that have made an
impact on the way electronic systems
are being designed.
The winner of the 2016 EDAA Lifetime Achievement Award is Giovanni
De Micheli. The award was presented
to De Micheli at the plenary session
of the Design, Automation and Test
in Europe Conference on 15 March
2016 in Dresden, Germany.
De Micheli has been a worldwide
research leader in the domain of EDA,
particularly in the synthesis of digital
circuits. He has made seminal contributions to modeling languages and highlevel and logic synthesis. He has also
contributed to the foundation of computer-aided hardware-software codesign
as a discipline. He is a leader in design
algorithms and tools for low-power electronic design.

De Micheli is one of the founding
fathers of network-on-chip technology, a rapidly expanding area of research and development worldwide.
He currently serves as the director of
the Institute of Electrical Engineering and the head of the Laboratory of
Integrated Systems at EPFL Switzerland. His research focuses on design
automation for systems on chips, including electrical, mechanical, and
biological subsystems.
