The VSIA and OpenSystems Publishing (OSP) are working together to sponsor a webcast on “Soc Design.” The event will be held in September and will be moderated by Don Dingee, editorial director, OpenSystems Publishing.
The webcast will be co-sponsored by four leading vendors. Each co-sponsor will assist in tightly defining the topic and be allowed 10 minutes of presentation time during the event. They will also be available for a live Q&A at the end of the event. If you are interested in co-sponsoring the event, contact Patrick Hopper at [email protected]
OSP has offered a series of highly targeted webcasts to members building awareness and interest in the organization while promoting the VSIA’s goals. Similar events have proved highly successful with associations such as VITA, PICMG, CP-TA, SA Forum, SCORE and OSDL.
“The webcast offers VSIA a great opportunity to educate our audience on SoC Design. Our audience of design engineers is eager to learn how their design will be influenced by the latest IP and SoC standards,” states Rosemary Kristoff, Vice President Editorial, OpenSystems Publishing.
Susan Cain, executive director of VSIA states, “VSIA has focused on creating standards-based solutions for solving IP and reuse facing the SoC industry. One approach to this is through education, and working with OpenSystems Publishing gives us a unique chance to educate through online media.”

About VSIA
The VSI Alliance was formed in September 1996 by a group of major Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Semiconductor companies with two goals. First, to establish a unifying vision for the chip industry, and second, to develop the technical standards required to enable the most critical component of that vision: the mix and match of Intellectual Property (IP) cores* from multiple sources.
VSIA later expanded that vision to meet the growing needs of the IC Industry by including software and hardware IP for System-on-a-Chip (SoC) Design, and has recently restructured the organization by creating a new type of working group, called a Pillar. The Pillars address standards issues to improve productivity for SoC and IP developers and users. Currently there are four pillars, covering IP Quality, IP Protection, IP Transfer and Research & Development. www.vsi.org
