Forum targets ASIC,
SoC and systems engineers
A free-to-attend post-DAC technical forum will be held on Wednesday 11th June at the Holiday Inn, Heathrow, London
First EDA has organised a free-to-attend post-DAC technical forum to be held on Wednesday 11th June at the Holiday Inn, Heathrow, London. EDA Forum 2003 is targeted at ASIC, SoC and systems engineers and is to focus on proven EDA methodologies. Up to seven technical presentations are to be given, followed by an independently chaired panel session.

Julian Lonsdale, founder of First EDA and organiser of the forum, comments: "EDA Forum 2003 is all about discussing today's challenges and proven solutions, and the presentations given on the day will be rich with advice and contain as many real-life examples as possible".
Topics to be addressed (and the companies presenting them) at the EDA Forum one-day event include: "Embracing a system level language" (Summit Design); "Pre-RTL architectural exploration" (Icinergy); "RTL design and the charting of downstream constraints" (Atrenta); "Assertion-based verification" (Aldec); "Equivalence checking" (Prover Technology); and "Platform-based concurrent engineering" (ProDesign).
Lonsdale continues: "DAC, in the USA, is the premier EDA event and it never fails to give the industry its annual boost.

PinAhead technology provides the ability to assign interface I/O groups to I/O pins simply by dragging into a graphical representation of the FPGA
However, not everyone can get out to the USA this year and those companies that are sending designers are sending fewer than before - restricting the amount of information they can collect".
The EDA Forum technical presentations will be given in approximate design flow order, and will be reproduced (with speaker notes) as handouts on the day.
Lonsdale adds: "ASIC, PLD and system design are currently alive and well in the UK but will suffer in the long term if we do not start boosting the industry in the same way that DAC does".
The companies giving presentations at the forum will also be exhibiting their latest tools and solutions: giving delegates the ideal opportunity to meet the presenters for one-to-one discussions.
Lonsdale concludes: "This EDA Forum, hopefully the first of many, is to have broad approach, as we're trying to promote as many discussions as possible between the various engineering disciplines using, and dependent on, EDA tools and methodologies.
This forum is for ASIC and SoC designers.
It is for those using reconfigurable logic.
It is for those developing a system on a platform.
It is for hardware, software and firmware engineers.
It is in fact for anyone using design automation to get a product designed and developed who wish to hear about proven methodologies and techniques in order to reduce risk".
