We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electronic design automation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Library enhances simulation and modelling from
Spectrum Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ismosys will represent Accelerated Designs in European territories and handle the distribution of its products, particularly its Ultra Librarian EDA library tool, online globally".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Design services target Russian IC hub from
Cadence Design Systems: "New Russian office in Zelenograd will serve as a centre of excellence for Cadence virtual CAD services".
In October 2007, we covered the news from National Semiconductor
- take a look at Schematics and footprints are free to download
which says: "The Ultra Librarian Reader with both footprints and symbols for National ICs is available now for download from the CAD section of the company's website".
Take a look also at the news release from NEC Electronics (Europe), Multicore SoC processor speeds to 700MHz,
as well as Grant to fast-track organic TFT design from Cambridge Display Technology,
and EDA conference reports available to the public from edacentrum.
