This guide provides a comprehensive checklist for evaluating Electronic Design Automation (EDA) research manuscripts for top-tier conferences like DAC. It emphasizes the necessity of using standard, recognized benchmark suites (e.g., ISPD, EPFL, TAU), comparing results against the true State-of-the-Art (SOTA), reporting full PPA metrics and runtime, and implementing ablation studies to ensure fairness, reproducibility, and generalizability, especially for ML-based methods.

A comprehensive guide for establishing research reproducibility in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). It details best practices for pinning benchmark suites, disclosing specific tool versions (open/commercial), documenting technology nodes (PDKs), and handling stochastic data flows (seeds, variance). Essential for ensuring that semiconductor design claims and ML-for-EDA results are credible and verifiable by the academic community.

A detailed model of the ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) research manuscript review process. This guide explains the double-blind, TPC-driven, and single-shot nature of the evaluation, emphasizing the critical balance between genuine novelty and measured Quality-of-Results (QoR). It outlines the high standards for evidence fairness, benchmark credibility, and ablation studies required for acceptance, differentiating DAC's approach from architecture and software venues.

This comprehensive guide provides a detailed audit checklist for submitting research manuscripts to major design automation conferences (e.g., DAC). It covers critical steps such as the two-stage abstract/manuscript timeline, adherence to the strict 6+1 page format, ensuring double-blind anonymization (removing all identifying metadata), declaring TPC conflicts, and mitigating common submission risks. Essential reading for researchers preparing for high-stakes academic submissions.

This comprehensive guide assists researchers and practitioners in selecting the optimal venue and track (e.g., DAC, ICCAD, ISCA) for their electronic design automation (EDA) or chip-design project. It clarifies the critical distinction between the archival Research Manuscript track and the industry-facing Engineering Track at DAC, emphasizing the need to frame contributions using measurable Quality of Results (QoR) improvements, novel algorithms, or real-world industrial lessons.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the IEEE CASE conference. This tool helps assess manuscript fit by focusing on automation science, manufacturing, logistics, and cyber-physical systems. It guides authors on how to re-frame algorithmic designs with practical operational evidence, structure the contribution, and anticipate reviewer expectations for top-tier automation venues.

A comprehensive guide for authors aiming to submit robotics and automation manuscripts to the IEEE ICRA. It provides detailed advice on conference fit, necessary evidence (hardware/simulation), paper framing, and structuring the work to meet the standards of top-tier robotics venues. It also helps differentiate ICRA from similar conferences like IROS and RSS.
