Platform-based Design: A choice not a panacea
VIEW ARCHIVED VERSION
Moderated by Richard Goering, CMP Electronics Group Editorial Director, Design Automation, Editorial Director, EEdesign.com

Platform-based design is hailed by some as a design style that will take over system-on-chips, and is viewed with skepticism by others. Definitions of platform-based design are vague, and most platforms are still in their infancy. What exactly is platform-based design, and where is it most likely to take hold? Where has it succeeded, and where has it fallen short? Our expert panelists will offer differing points of view.

Panelists:
• Bob Altizer, President and Principal Consultant, BASYS Consulting
• Grant Martin, Fellow in the Labs of Cadence Design Systems
• Gary Smith, Director and Chief Analyst; Electronic Design Automation Service; Design & Engineering Cluster
