WHAT: 3rd Taiwan SystemC Users Group Meeting

Sponsored by OSCI, the Taiwan SystemC Users Group Meeting is an industry event where system integrators, modeling experts, EDA suppliers and system-level design and verification architects and engineers can share and exchange knowledge on the industrial application and benefits of using the SystemC language for system-level modeling, design and verification.

WHEN: Monday, November 14 and Tuesday, November 15, 09:00 to 16:30.

WHERE:
November 14: ITRI, 195, Sec. 4, Chung Hsing Rd., Chutung, Hsinchu, Taiwan 31040 (R.O.C.)
November 15: National Cheng Kung University, No.1, University Road, Tainan City 701, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

AGENDA:
The agenda features two tracks -- high-level synthesis and system-level modeling -- and includes eight technical presentations by leading universities and top electronics companies who will present the practical usage of the SystemC standard in applications related to semiconductor/IC design, embedded system design and mixed-signal system-level architecture.

Stan Krolikoski, OSCI board member and chair of the IEEE 1666 SystemC Working Group, will kick-off each event with a presentation about technical developments of the SystemC standard including an update on transaction-level modeling (TLM).
