DVCon) U.S. Advance Program is now available online and registration is open. DVCon U.S., sponsored by
Accellera Systems Initiative, will be held February 25 – 28, 2019 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.
“With a record number of submissions for the 2019 conference, DVCon U.S. offers its attendees a broad selection of papers, posters, panels, tutorials and short workshops to choose from,” stated Aparna Dey, DVCon U.S. 2019 General Chair. “As electronic designs and verification complexities and challenges continue to grow at a rapid pace, it is critical that design and verification engineers have a resource for the latest information that will be beneficial in their current and upcoming projects. Now in its 31st year, DVCon continues to be the must-attend conference for the latest information on challenges and solutions as well as a gathering place where colleagues can share and discuss information with peers.”
The conference begins on Monday, February 25 with Accellera Day. A morning tutorial titled, “Gain Valuable Insight into the Changes and Features that Are Part of the New IEEE 1800.2 Standard for UVM and How to Make the Most of Them,” will be presented by Cliff Cummings and will offer attendees tips and tricks on the Accellera Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard. There will also be a short workshop in the afternoon, “Functional Coverage for SystemC” as well as five sponsored short workshops to choose from. Accellera will also provide a luncheon on Monday that will include the presentation of Accellera’s annual Technical Excellence Award. The DVCon Expo and reception will follow the afternoon short workshops and will begin at 5:00pm.
Fram Akiki, Vice President, Electronics & Semiconductor Industry for Siemens PLM Software, will provide this year’s keynote address, “Thriving in the Age of Digitalization,” on Tuesday, from 1:30pm-2:30pm in the Oak/Fir Ballroom. Mr. Akiki will discuss why it’s important to have an integrated digitalization strategy to succeed in today’s semiconductor market.
