Design & Verification Conference & Exhibition (DVCon)
   (Formerly HDLCon)
February 24-26, 2003
DoubleTree Hotel, San Jose, CA
Website:  http://www.dvcon.org


DVCon 2003 will have one of the most exciting technical programs in the
conference's 10 year history.  The Call For Papers for this conference
received a large number of high quality, technical proposals, on a wide
range of engineering topics.  The selected papers will be presented in
six sessions.  Some sessions will focus on the usage and new
developments of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs).  Other sessions
are focused to Hardware Verification Languages (HVLs).  We received so
many paper proposals on experiences in design verification, such as the
usage of assertions, that two paper sessions are dedicated for engineers
to share those experiences.

In addition to the 38 technical papers, the program includes 3 exciting
panels on HDL and HVL topics.  The last day of the conference offers 7
excellent tutorials to choose from.  The tutorials are presented by true
industry experts and provide a cost effective forum for learning new
tricks in design and verification.  The keynote address and luncheon
will be equally 
valuable.  Aart De Geus, Chairman & CEO of Synopsys, will share his
vision of a new engineering paradigm, "Correct by Verification".

This is your opportunity to attend the conference, exhibition, and
network with your peers.  We look forward to seeing you
in 2003!
