The Electronic Design Processes (EDP) 2011 Symposium, in its 18th year, fosters the free exchange of ideas among the top thinkers, movers, and shakers who focus on how chips and systems are designed in the electronics industry. It provides a forum for this cross-section of the Design community to discuss state-of-the-art improvements to electronics design processes and CAD methodologies, rather than on the functions of the individual tools themselves.

The Workshop, which takes place each year in Monterey, California, emphasized both the here and now and the future. Attendees of this elite workshop have met each year since 1993. It has attracted some of the most far-seeing people in electronics as speakers. If you need to know where the industry is and where it's going with respect to the design and development, and especially methodologies and technology of design, you should consider attending this coming year.

THEMES IN 2011:

The 5 main themes of the EDP2011 Workshop include but not be limited to:

Parallel EDA
High-Level Design (including Requirements-Driven Design Flows)
