DATE is a combination of a [[trade show]] and a [[Academic conference|technical conference]].

== Areas of submission ==

The DATE conference invites research papers in many areas related to [[electronic design automation]]. These topics are grouped into four main tracks: design methods, applications, testing, and embedded systems:<ref name="cfp">[https://www.date-conference.com/call-for-papers DATE Conference – Call for Papers]</ref>

* '''Track D:<ref name="tpc-d">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track D – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [[Design methods|Design Methods and Tools]]''' covers research on how to build better design tools and methods. Topics include high-level synthesis, system simulation, formal verification, low-power and secure design, reconfigurable systems, and new ideas like quantum computing and approximate computing.

* '''Track A:<ref name="tpc-a">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track A – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [[Design computing|Application Design]]''' focuses on real-world examples. It includes designs for smart energy systems, secure and autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and new technologies used in practical ways.

* '''Track T:<ref name="tpc-t">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track T – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [[Dependability|Test and Dependability]]''' is about testing and reliability. It includes fault detection, circuit testing, secure system validation, and ways to make sure systems work even when there are errors.

* '''Track E:<ref name="tpc-e">[https://www.date-conference.com/tpc Track E – DATE Technical Program Committee]</ref> [[Embedded system|Embedded Systems Design]]''' includes software and hardware for embedded and cyber-physical systems. Topics cover real-time systems, secure systems, software tools, and using machine learning in embedded devices.

Each track has several specific topics. Authors can choose the one that fits their work. All papers are peer-reviewed and must present original and useful research.

== Young People Programme ==

The DATE conference hosts the Young People Programme, an initiative aimed at supporting early-career researchers and strengthening academic-industry connections. First introduced in 2019, the program offers career development resources for master's students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers. It also provides introduces companies and universities to potential employees. The programme includes networking events, mentorship opportunities, and recruiting activities to help participants explore career paths and build professional relationships.<ref name="ypp">[https://www.date-conference.com/young-people-programme DATE Conference – Young People Programme]</ref>

== Conference archive ==

The following table lists past editions of the DATE (Design, Automation and Test in Europe) conference, including the host cities and years. A full archive of events and proceedings is available on the official DATE website.<ref name="archive">[https://www.date-conference.com/archive DATE Conference Archive]</ref> Additional bibliographic information is available through the DBLP computer science bibliography.<ref name="dblp">[https://dblp.org/db/conf/date/index.html DBLP – DATE Conference Proceedings Archive]</ref> Proceedings for each year are accessible via IEEE Xplore.<ref name="ieee">[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp IEEE Xplore Digital Library]</ref>

== Late Breaking Results ==

The DATE conference offers a special track for Late Breaking Results (LBR). This track allows researchers to share new ideas, early-stage findings, or innovative directions that are still in progress. LBR submissions are limited to two pages and must follow the official template. All submissions are reviewed through a blind peer-review process. Selected papers are presented in interactive sessions, where authors can receive feedback and discuss their work with the community.<ref name="cfp" />
