ESLD - 2006: Workshop Goals

Raising the level of abstraction to electronic system-level is emerging as a power solution to the problem of design productivity. ESL Design encompasses a number of disciplines, such as system system-level design entry, translation of high-level language descriptions to RTL, hardware-software partitioning, system-level verification, and system-level testing.  A number of commercial products and associated methodologies are emerging for ESL Design.  The goal of the workshop is to bring together a number of practitioners in the area of ESL Design and create a forum for exposing and discussing these methodologies.

The workshop will consist of keynote talks, invited presentations, embedded tutorials, exhibits, and a panel discussion.
