PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA,3 December 2007 -- The IEEE Standards Association has recognized the IEEE Design Automation Standards Committee with its annual Sponsor Award for Outstanding Contribution to Corporate Standards Development for the committee's work in "pioneering and promoting the entity-based standards process and continuing to sponsor new design automation standards."
The IEEE-SA Sponsor Award for Outstanding Contribution to Corporate Standards is presented annually to IEEE Standards sponsors that have shown exceptional support of the entity standards development process. The entity, or corporate, standards development process, embraces direct representation of companies, government bodies, and academic institutions in the IEEE Standards process.
The IEEE Design Automation Standards Committee (DASC) is responsible for the standardization of Design Automation-related standards within the IEEE. It is part of the Computer Society of the IEEE and also operates under the auspices of the IEEE Standards Association. "I greatly appreciate the honor of accepting this award on behalf of the DASC," said Victor Berman, CEO of Improv Systems and Chair of the DASC. "I am proud of the success of this important group, which is largely due to the active support of the officers and members who have been extremely supportive in restoring the vigor of the committee. I look forward to a bright future of being able to serve the electronics industry through the development of important and timely standards."
The DASC's center of interest has been around language-based design and verification standards stemming from the key HDL standards, VHDL and Verilog, from which have flowed standards for timing, synthesis, math routines, and test. Currently the emphasis of the group is growing to embrace system-level requirements, with standards being developed in analog-mixed signal and other extensions driven by these needs. DASC's latest projects include SystemVerilog, Low Power Format, Esterel, Rosetta, IP Quality Metrics and IP Encryption.
About the IEEE Standards Association
The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open process that brings diverse parts of industry together. These standards set specifications and procedures based on current scientific and technological consensus. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of over 870 active standards and more than 400 standards under development. For information on IEEE-SA see: http://standards.ieee.org/.
About the IEEE
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.) is the world’s largest technical professional society. Through its more than 370,000 members in 160 countries, the organization is a leading authority on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics. Dedicated to the advancement of technology, the IEEE publishes 30 percent of the world’s literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has developed nearly 900 active industry standards. The organization also sponsors or co-sponsors over 450 international technical conferences each year. Additional information about the IEEE can be found at http://www.ieee.org.
