Content Foreword

The Design and Verification Conference in Europe (DVCon Europe) is the leading European event covering the application of languages, tools and intellectual property for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. Sponsored by Accellera Systems Initiative, DVCon Europe brings chip architects, design and verification engineers, and IP integrators the latest methodologies, techniques, applications and demonstrations for the practical use of EDA solutions for electronic design.

General topic areas on Electronic System Level (ESL), Verification & Validation, Analog/Mixed-Signal, IP reuse, Design Automation, and Low Power design and verification, will be highlighted in tutorials, papers, and poster sessions.

With a highly technical focus on System and IC design, verification, and integration, DVCon Europe is a very practical and industry-focused conference on EDA standards and standardization.
DVCon Europe organizes technical workshops and tutorials on emerging EDA and IP standards, with highly educational content. Experts in the industry share on topics like UVM, SystemC and IP-XACT, with the fundamental concepts and practical usage of these standards explained, including examples and demonstrations.
