Abstract
Over 70 exhibitors participated in this year's Design Automation Conference. Everyone from AT&T to Zycad was clustered together in the exhibit hall of Caesar's Palace. And although Hillel Ofek's keynote address lamented the lack of new ideas, there were several emerging trends and new commercial product families evident from the offerings on the exhibit floor. As was true last year, there was a growing trend toward consolidation in the CAD industry as smaller companies are acquired by larger, old-line companies. Also, several new technologies emerged as commercially viable products, including silicon compilers, new CAD hosts, special-purpose hardware accelerators, and a new family of PCB thermal analysis utilities. And of course a number of companies announced enhancements and improvements in their current product line or integrated elements of each others products.
