Patrick H. Madden -- Professional Activities

• Currently vice-chair of of ACM/SIGDA.
  SIGDA is the design automation interest group of ACM, and sponsors a dozen conferences, symposia, and workshops around the world. As vice-chair, my primary activity is in reviewing event budgets, and working with conference organizers to help their events run smoothly. I am also the contact for the ICCAD CADathlon, an event modeled after the ACM programming contests, but with a strong emphasis on design automation research topics.
  Previously, I upgraded the SIGDA web site, ran the University Booth for a few years, and helped out with the Design Automation Summer School.

• I was the general ISPD, and will be the steering committee chair for 2008.
• I'm the general chair for EDP 2008.
• I'm an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design, handling the special issues related to ISPD for 2006 and 2007.
• I am on the technical program committees of ASPDAC, GLSVLSI, ISPD, and EDP; I am also on the best paper selection committee for ICCAD.
• I'm a regular reviewer for ACM TODAES, IEEE TCAD and TCS, and a variety of other journals.
• In 2002, I co-chaired GLSVLSI.
