Working with CHIPS Alliance, this event brought together the community for multiple talks, tutorials, discussions and more.
» Workshop on Open Source Design Verification
Date: November 14-15, 2019
Location: Munich, Germany
The CHIPS Alliance organizes a two day workshop in co-operation with the Munich University of Applied Sciences. The workshop covers tools for open source design simulation and verification.
The workshop invites contributions from industry, academia and hobbyists, either as talk or tutorial. Proposals should cover open source design simulation and verification, for example in the following categories (but not limited to):
- Open source simulation tools
- Open source design verification tools
- Open source rapid prototyping tools and methodologies
- Open source libraries for design verification
- Open source standards and methodologies for design verification
- Industry case studies of usage and integration of the aforementioned
Most importantly, your submitted proposal should cover the open source aspect.
The workshop will start on November 14 at 13:00 CEST and end on November 15 at 17:00 CEST. Accepted presentations and tutorials will be published soon.
