DATE is the top European conference for Design Automation and Testing. Ranking it B is in my opinion incorrect. It receives yearly more than 1000 submissions and has strict acceptance rate rules. Moreover, it is wrong to categorize it under software engineering. It is into System Design.

DATE is one of the top conferences for EDA design automation. Ranking it B is wrong, it is too low. DATE is a very competitive venue which is difficult to get in to, and as a result publications tend to be of very high quality.

DATE is the most important Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Digital Design conference, along with DAC. There is no point in classifying it as B.
