For most of the average joes attending the Design Automation Conference, it’s a time to walk the exhibit floor, witness demos of the latest EDA gear, take in some interesting technical sessions, and maybe attend a party or reception.
But if you dig around the DAC website, you’ll see a link to something called “Collocated [...]
