IEEE International Conference on LLM-Aided Design, 2026

The IEEE International Conference on LLM-Aided Design (LAD 2026) explores the rapidly expanding role of large language models as active participants in engineering design workflows. From hardware synthesis and chip design to software architecture and systems engineering, LLMs are beginning to assist and automate design tasks that once required deep specialist expertise—but significant challenges in reliability, correctness, and interpretability remain.

LAD 2026 is aimed at researchers and practitioners in electronic design automation, software engineering, AI, and systems design who are developing or evaluating LLM-based design tools. Sessions address prompt engineering for design tasks, LLM fine-tuning on domain-specific corpora, verification of LLM-generated artifacts, and human-in-the-loop design workflows. The conference is an essential gathering point for anyone shaping the future of AI-assisted engineering.
