WELCOME MESSAGES<br />
Welcome to the 37th ASME Design Automation Conference (DAC)! ASME’s DAC serves the important function of promoting research<br />
<strong>and</strong> disseminating knowledge in areas dealing with Design Automation. This year, 156 papers were submitted to the conference, <strong>and</strong><br />
118 papers were accepted after a rigorous peer review process. These accepted papers cover about 30 topics spanning DAC’s four<br />
major thrust areas: Design Representation, Design Optimization, Design Evaluation, <strong>and</strong> Design Integration, <strong>and</strong> will be presented in 25<br />
technical sessions, running in three parallel tracks. New in this year, among the submitted final papers, 10 best papers were selected <strong>and</strong><br />
will be denoted in conference program. One of these 10 outst<strong>and</strong>ing papers will be selected for the Best Paper Award sponsored by the<br />
Ford Motor Company <strong>and</strong> will be announced <strong>and</strong> presented at the DED Lunch on Tuesday. These top 10 papers are listed as below:<br />
• DETC2011-47922 A Function Based Approach for Product Integration, by Vishwa Kalyanasundaram <strong>and</strong> Kemper Lewis (pg 131)<br />

We also have an exciting joint Plenary Speaker scheduled on Monday morning. Dr. Sridhar Kota <strong>from</strong> University of Michigan, who is also an<br />
ASME White House Office of Science <strong>and</strong> Technology Policy Fellow, will speak on “Innovation <strong>and</strong> US-based Manufacturing.” In addition,<br />
we have three special panel sessions this year, i.e., 1) Environmental Policy in Vehicle Design, organized by Dr. Jeremy Michalek,<br />
2) Interdisciplinary Design Research <strong>and</strong> Education: The New Frontier, organized by Drs. Tim Simpson <strong>and</strong> Panos Papalambros, <strong>and</strong> 3) Q&A<br />
with Design Engineering Divisions Journal Editors, organized by Dr. Shapour Azarm. Please check the conference program for their schedules.<br />
We would like to take this occasion to thank all of the authors for submitting their papers, paper reviewers for sharing their time <strong>and</strong><br />
expertise, <strong>and</strong> session chairs/co-chairs for running a smooth conference. Also, we would like to thank the special session organizers<br />
<strong>and</strong> review coordinators <strong>and</strong> co-coordinators for soliciting <strong>and</strong> managing papers: James, Allison, Shapour Azarm, Gwenola Bertoluci,<br />
