Keynote speaker: “The Internet of Every-Thing: EDA perspectives”

A decade ago it was easy to tell who the semiconductor industry players were, and where they fit relative to customer requirements and the electronics ecosystem. Integrated Circuits, system and software each had their own distinct suppliers and there was a built-in assumption that customers would be able to “make it work”. Today, innovative connected products increasingly require a different paradigm where traditional industry definitions are blurred by the realization that the “Internet of Every-thing” requires a more unified knowledge of products and design solutions in areas from devices to servers, software and infrastructure. This talk will address the challenges and provide visions from EDA perspectives as a key enabler of tomorrow´s technology on these changing industry dynamics - one in which is the need of integrated EDA solutions to meet requirements for increased miniaturization, mixed-signal design, sensors, software and electro-mechanical designs, to enable emerging vertical integrated systems companies and others to prosper.
