Abstract

Future Silicon based Systems not only may consist of a variety of highly complex SoCs having hundreds of millions of gates each but as well will represent the seamless integration of heterogeneous MEMs and nanoelectronic components&#046; This will cause the design productivity to becoming a pre&#8211;dominant factor of success for the European Micro&#8211;Electronic industry to cost efficiently deploy the valuable possibilities of the emerging technologies yet eliminating their serious obstacles&#046;<br>Exhaustive research and development in this area have been supported by MEDEA+ and the individual member states of the European Union throughout the past six years&#046; As one outcome from this a group of the Medea+ members recently have completed a thorough EDA Roadmap&#046;<br>Given the crucially enabling part a future Design&#8211;Methodology evidently is expected to take to support the industry&#8242;s value chain, the Medea&#8211;DAC 2006 is an appropriate platform at the right point in time to broadly reflect the Medea+ EDA Roadmap within that context&#046; This will be performed in the light of the needs of the EDA&#8211;Users, the constraints of the EDA&#8211;Suppliers, and not the least the experience of those who are literally applying the EDA, i&#046;e&#046; the projects and its people behind&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> High Level presentations on needs/challenges from technology, system, and EDA suppliers point of view<br>Presentations of particular EDA requirements in developing/integrating Silicon based Systems with focus on technology, system integration, and software<br>A variety of success stories giving evidence of the impact of completed Medea+ projects
