Latest Verilog standard released
IEEE 1364-2001, the Verilog hardware description language (HDL) standard, also known as Verilog-2001, was approved by the IEEE as a revised standard in March of this year.
The European IST Prize recognises and promotes excellence in research and commercial applications of information and communication technologies (ICT), also know as Information Society Technologies.
The convergence of computing, telecommunications and media technologies is revolutionising our society and is increasingly crucial to economic growth.
Promotion of ICT has therefore become a recognised priority within the European Union.
With 11 years of uninterrupted growth, international recognition and huge interest from investors, the European IST Prize is today the most coveted of the prizes recognising major achievements in the ICT world.
The emphasis on innovation and market potential in the evaluation process ensures the solidity and sustainability of prize winners.
The resulting visibility and recognition improves their access to finance and assists the start-up of young enterprises.
Supported by the European Commission's Information Society Programme, the European IST Prize is organised by Euro-CASE, a nonprofit organisation of national academies of engineering, technology and applied sciences from 20 European countries.
Prize proposals are evaluated by independent experts nominated by the Euro-CASE academies.
Interim evaluations result in the proposal of 20 nominees for the grand prize.
In December 2005, an executive jury chaired by Guy Demuynck, CEO of KPN Mobile, assessed the nominees for the 2006 prize and proposed a number of projects as grand prize winners.
Based on these recommendations, the European Commission will select up to 20 winners and up to three grand prize winners from among the 20 nominees.
The full list of nominees can be found now on the Euro-CASE website.
