LAD 2026 - 2nd IEEE International Conference on LLM-Aided Design (ICLAD)

IEEE CEDA-sponsored conference on applying large language models to electronic design automation and hardware/software design. It invites original contributions on LLMs for EDA, agentic design workflows, LLM-aided RTL/HLS code generation, verification of LLM-generated designs, datasets and benchmarks, fine-tuning foundation models for design automation. Submissions may take the form of full research papers, extended abstracts and poster presentations reporting theoretical, computational and experimental work, as well as industrial case studies and applications. The meeting brings together researchers, engineers, industry practitioners and students to exchange recent results and discuss emerging directions in the field. Accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
