The 2017 Seasonal School on Physical Design Automation (SSPDA2017) aims to offer a set of talks on key topics of physical design for integrated circuits in modern and upcoming technologies. It should represent current and future challenges that are faced by industry and academia for the implementation of ever more complex circuits and systems. We want to promote discussion on hot topics and cover fundamental algorithms and computational methods in the area, so that the attendance can leverage their comprehension and capabilities, while also attracting new students and researchers to the right problems. The courses will be given by prominent international researchers with extensive expertise in their fields. Each course should be given in 2h40m, in two parts of 1h20m (exceptions can be considered according to particular needs). Associated to the school, a book will be proposed, for which every speaker is invited to write a chapter, although the participation is not mandatory, and additional chapters or splitting/merging of chapters can be considered.
