Developed specifically for semiconductor and electronic design engineers, Euro DesignCon presentations will address current issues that are most significant to the European design community through a comprehensive educational program of keynote and plenary panels, technical papers, and tutorials. A highlight of the event will be the hands-on exhibition featuring more than 30 industry-leading companies.
"The goal of Euro DesignCon is to help engineers keep pace with advances in microelectronics being made at a staggering pace," explained John Janowiak, Senior Director of the IEC. "This is why we are very pleased that the edacentrum has joined us as an Associate Sponsor."
A core belief of the edacentrum is that Electronic Desgn Automation is the key technology of microelectronics, which will be the driver of the information and communication society. "Projections tell us that in 2010, it will be possible to integrate 5 billion transistors on one single chip," stated Erich Barke, Chairman of the edacentrum. "As a result of shorter production cycles, design teams will have to design them within a few months. If we want to reach this target, we must at least double our design productivity every year. There has never been an industrial sector demanding such numbers and efforts," he concluded.
Euro DesignCon 2004 will take place 11-14, October 2004 at the ArabellaSheraton Grand Hotel in Munich, Germany. More information about Euro DesignCon can be found at www.designcon.com/euro.
