Abstract :
The electronic design community and EDA companies have started what will be known as the Virtual Components creation through the industry organisation called the Virtual Socket Interface Alliance (VSIA). This was followed by Mentor Graphics and Synopsys. who signed a Design Reuse Partnership, which led to the publishing of the ´Reuse Methodology Manual for SoC Designs´. The last stage was to create an industry accepted Virtual Component Quality Spreadsheet by merging the two efforts
