SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The21st annualInternational Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED'20) will commence on March 25 with special focus on Quantum Computing, Security, and AI/ML & Electronic Design. The premier electronic design quality conferencerecently announced its 2020 program, consisting of talks by experts that cover multiple topics related to electronic designand semiconductor technology.

"The industry has slowly started to realize the importance of the concept of quality in electronic design and the hypercritical role it plays in the creation of secure, reliable, manufacturable, and user-friendly circuits and systems,"said Dr. Ali Iranmanesh, the conference founder and president of the International Society for Quality in Electronic Design. "Prior to the inception of ISQED in 1998, the lexicon of technical terminologies hardly contained any combination of 'Quality,' 'Design,' and 'Electronic' words. Terms such as 'Quality Electronic Design,' 'Quality in Electronic Design,' etc. could not be found in any Internet search. Then, the concept of 'Quality' in the design of integrated circuits and systems was a foreign concept that confused even ardent industry practitioners."

ISQED convenes Wednesday, March 25, through Thursday, March 26, 2020, at Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA. The event includes free admission to keynote presentations. For information and registration visit http://www.isqed.org.
