Plenary speaker: “SoCs for Mobile Applications: Systems from 0 MPH to over 100 MPH”

Abstract form only given. Mobile Applications are not only becoming more complex, but they are facing stiff constraints in power and quality & reliability. In the next decade, consumers are going to be treated to an array of new use case experiences in mobility that one can only dream of today. And new areas are emerging with exciting new user experiences in the car, with features known to many smartphone users making their way into the automobile, along with a myriad of other functions that drivers today cannot imagine. The HW and SW IP and systems integration that will enable these experiences are prodigious. Design and verification challenges which must be surmounted to enable such high levels of integration and functionality are daunting. And doing so in the timeframes required to satisfy the appetites of smartphone, tablet and automotive customers, while delivering to cost, power, performance and quality targets demands novel approaches. We will explore these challenges in the design of the most popular devices in the wireless world.
