About the IWPC 

The workshop's goal is to continue the development process of the Electronic Product Design System(TM) also known as EPDeS(TM). A live multimedia design demonstration made during the workshop designed a wireless radio device, showing the capability of the EPDeS system to: create and import materials data from a remote materials database, and transfer files from one independent design tool to another (mechanical, thermal, electrical and EM) using some of the industry's most widely used EDA Tools.

Lucent Technologies and approximately 50 other companies at all levels of the supply chain (EDA Tool suppliers, OEM's, materials suppliers, circuit makers, component suppliers) gathered in Murray Hill, NJ, November 15-16, 1999 for the 3rd Electronic Product Design System(TM) (EPDeS) Interactive Technical Workshop. Organized by the International Wireless Packaging Consortium(TM) (IWPC(TM)), the workshop featured the first-ever live "Capability" Demonstration of this paradigm-shifting industry initiative. This EPDeS demonstration represents the next step of literally hundreds of hours of intense industry discussions with virtually every level of the supply chain.
