dac-related-work

Use when writing or auditing the related-work and positioning of an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript, covering the EDA literature lanes (DAC/ICCAD/DATE/ASP-DAC/TCAD/TODAES), delta-first positioning against the strongest prior tool, honest benchmark-suite lineage, and third-person self-citation under double-blind review within the six-page budget.

# DAC Related Work

Position the paper against the EDA literature a DAC reviewer already knows. At six double-column
pages, related work is not a survey — it is a **delta statement**: here is the best prior technique
for this design task, here is precisely what it cannot do, here is what we add, measured in QoR.
DAC reviewers are drawn from exactly the subcommittee whose prior work you are extending, so an
incomplete or unfair positioning is caught immediately.

## The EDA literature lanes

Cover the lanes your contribution touches; do not pad with distant ones:

- **The top EDA venues** — DAC, **ICCAD**, **DATE**, **ASP-DAC** — the conference record of your
  problem. A physical-design paper that cites no recent DAC/ICCAD placement work reads as
