Panel 1 - DVCon 2005 Bigwigs Panel
Moderator: John Cooley - ESNUG/DeepChip.com, Holliston, MA
Come hear the bigwigs discuss the controversial EDA topics of the day like: What's the impact of these ex-Intel employees replacing the EDA industry veterans at most of the top positions in Cadence? What caused Monterey and AmmoCore to die? Why did Synopsys and Magma slip in their financials last year? Are the Vera vs. Specman "e" wars re-igniting or was Cadence foolish to acquire Verisity? Is SystemC a pipe dream? What about Cadence Open Access vs. Synopsys Milkyway? What's the latest dirt in the layout wars?
