GSA | DesignCon 2008 | February 5

DesignCon 2008 February 4 - 6, 2008

GSA is pleased to be an associate sponsor of DesignCon and to host an interactive Tutorial Session: "Tools for Reducing the Hidden Costs in the IP Supply Ecosystem". GSA has heard in many forms and from companies throughout the supply chain that relationships between IP vendors, IP integrators, EDA and Foundries are sometimes complex /difficult and even frustrating.

Based on this industry need, GSA has invested in a multi-year project called the IPecosystem Tool Suite (IPe) to create simple tools to address many levels of issues and challenges. The IPe Tool Suite enables more efficient communication between IP vendors, integrators and foundries for IP interaction. The Tool Suite creates efficiencies and lowers risk by reducing the time spent collecting and communicating the information required to purchase, integrate and utilize IP at various intervals including pre-purchase, design and manufacturing.

All DesignCon attendees are encouraged to attend this interactive tutorial. Content of the tutorial is listed below.
