CoWare has set up a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) to be chaired by Dr Heinrich Meyr, the company's Chief Scientist and Professor at Aachen University of Technology.

CoWare has set up a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) to be chaired by Dr Heinrich Meyr, the company's Chief Scientist and Professor at Aachen University of Technology.

Including Meyr, the board comprises seven well-respected individuals from leading universities and electronics companies.

The TAB will help CoWare with the strategic positioning of new system-level design products and review current and future product development, offering insight into technology trends and potential research collaborations.

Board members will also work closely with Karl Van Rompaey, CoWare's Chief Technology Officer, to continue to establish CoWare as an academic and industry technology leader.

Dr Meyr noted: "This board will be actively involved in assisting CoWare in maintaining and expanding its technology leadership position.

Members were carefully selected for their extensive knowledge of the electronics industry, significant positions in the academic and research community, and considerable business acumen".

Members also include Giovanni (Nanni) De Micheli, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University and recipient of this year's IEEE Emanuel R Piore Award.

His research interests include several aspects of design technologies for integrated circuits and systems, with particular emphasis on synthesis, system-level design, hardware software codesign and low-power design.

Kurt Keutzer is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley.

He has spent over a decade researching software support for the design of application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs) as well as championing the market trend away from ASICs and onto ASIPs.

Tobias Noll is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems at Aachen University of Technology (RWTH Aachen).

Dr Noll has 30 years of progressive experience in VLSI architectures, circuits, and design methodologies with a focus on high-performance, low-power DSP applications and deep-submicron issues.

Masaru Kakimoto is General Manager, Embedded Processor Division, Platform Technology Center, Sony Corp.

A pioneer in the establishment of SoC system-level design methodologies, Kakimoto is responsible for the development and proliferation of Sony's HW/SW SoC platform design environment.

His interests include top-down design, platform-based design and high-level synthesis technologies.

Yong-en Chen is Professor and Director of the Institute of Telecommunications and Director of the Design Center of Communication Software and ASIC at Tongji University in Shanghai, China.

His research interests include system-level design, hardware/software codesign and protocol stack design of communications SoC.

Pierre Paulin is Director of SoC Platform Automation in the Central R and D organisation of STMicroelectronics.

Previously, he was Director of Embedded Systems Technologies for ST in Grenoble, France.

He also managed embedded software tools and high-level synthesis R and D with BNR, the Nortel Networks research labs.
