The ACM sponsored TAU series of workshops provide an informal forum for practitioners and researchers working on temporal aspects of digital systems to disseminate early work and engage in a free discussion of ideas. The twenty-sixth in the TAU series, the TAU 2019 workshop emphasizes novel aspects of timing and power analysis as well as optimization with special invited talks.

Timing Contest
TAU 2019 is organizing a timing contest. The TAU 2019 contest will focus on the performance of an optimization tool, in terms of final timing, area, and power. The specific objective is to develop a runtime and memory efficient approach to speed up closure flow. Winners of the contest will be awarded plaques as well as cash prizes!
