IEEE Standards in India

IEEE Standards Association Hosts Design Automation Standardization Workshops in Bangalore & Delhi

I, along with several other individuals, will participate in two IEEE-SA EDA standardization workshops in India on Friday, 4 February 2011 in Bangalore and on Thursday 10 February 2011 in New Delhi.  In the last year, the IEEE announced it opened an office in Bangalore, India.  This is the fourth IEEE office in Asia, following China, Japan and Singapore.

A large number of IEEE’s members reside in India and the EDA standards get a lot of use and attention in India.  There is a strong and thriving IEEE Std 1800™ SystemVerilog community in India that are helping to extend the verification capabilities of the language.  As the IEEE office gets setup, I look forward to it to help better coordinate standards development of a global community of companies and individuals.
