The European Electronics Chips and Systems Design Initiative (ECSI) is a co-sponsor of this meeting. ECSI (www.ecsi.org) was established in 1993 with support of European Commission European Commission, branch of the governing body of the European Union (EU) invested with executive and some legislative powers. Located in Brussels, Belgium, it was founded in 1967 when the three treaty organizations comprising what was then the European Community via the ESPRIT ESPRIT - European Strategic Programme for Research in Information Technology project ECIP ECIP European Community Investment Partners ECIP Early Childhood Intervention Program ECIP Erasure Code Internet Protocol ECIP Energy Conservation Improvement Program ECIP European Compliance Inspection Program ECIP Energy Conversion Investment Program and sponsorship of participating companies, and is open to all institutions or industries, who wish to support EDA standardization in Europe. ECSI's mission is to identify, develop and promote efficient methods for electronic systems design, with particular regards to the needs of the system-on-chip.

About the Presentations and Panel Verification continues to be a critical portion of the design cycle. Recently, new verification techniques have been proposed and developed, which promise to improve verification coverage and accelerate the verification design step. Accellera with the help of industry leaders in verification is working on developing standards that allow users and tool developers to take optimal advantage of these new concepts and methodologies. The verification of platforms requires that many principles be utilized for individual components of the platform, with interaction between the components. For example, these include the use of directed random techniques, assertions that check key protocols on busses and between intellectual property blocks, the checking of software quality and the testing of software and hardware together. These are all essential elements of an effective platform verification strategy. Also, worthy of consideration is the analysis of algorithmic and system implementation level models and the validation of downstream designs against these higher level descriptions. When and Where: Monday, 4 March 2002, 6pm-7pm, Room D (252B) Le Palais des Congres, Paris, France Registration: The meeting is open to all. About Accellera Accellera is an electronics industry organization that drives the worldwide development and use of standards required by systems, semiconductor and design tool companies that enhance a language-based design automation process. This includes support of technical groups involved with development of standards for the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1364 Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. standard and the IEEE 1076 VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level.
