Panel Discussion: Life Begins at 65 - Unless You Are Mixed Signal?

The old school of analog designers, exemplified by pioneer Bob Pease, is becoming an extinct species. But the demand for analog/mixed-signal IP blocks has never been greater, especially at 65 nm and below. Can this demand be met by using externally designed 3^rd party analog/mixed-signal IP? Or is the implementation of revolutionary changes to traditional work flows and analog design processes a suitable option? Which solutions that help in increasing design efficiency are currently on the table? In the future, which side of the table would analog designers of Bob Pease´s generation sit: the IP provider or the chip company? Or are their skills redundant for the 65 nm analog design challenges?
