Oettingerto talk about European Microelectronics Strategy and Jean Marc Chery, Chief Operating Officer of STMicroelectronics, who will talk about ”ST technologies fully addressing Internet of Things applications from LP Digital to RF-CMOS, eNVM and sensors“.
On the same day, a keynote session sponsored by Mentor Graphics is organized during lunchtime. Moreover, the Executive Track offers a series of business panels discussing hot topics. Executive speakers from companies leading the design and automation industry will address some of the complexity issues in electronics design and discuss about advanced technology challenges and opportunities.
The distinctive highlights of DATE 2015 are the two special days:
“Designing Electronics for the Internet of Things (IoT)” on Wednesday, and
“Designing Electronics for Medical Applications” on Thursday, each giving a comprehensive overview regarding both themes, ranging from innovations and applications of latest technologies to the analysis of upcoming electronic design automation (EDA) research challenges.
The
keynote speakers on Wednesday comprise Wolfgang Wahlster (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, DE) to talk about about “Industrie 4.0: From the Internet of Things to Cyber-Physical Production Systems” and Antun Domic (Synopsys, US) who will analyze “The Rise of IoT, and the Role of EDA”.
On Thursday, the keynote speaker Kristoffer Famm (GlaxoSmithKline, GB) is going to talk about "Bio electronic Medicines - Heralding in a New Therapeutic Approach”.
The full conference programme including 10 in-depth tutorials on March 09, the regular conference from March 10 to 12, and ten parallel Friday Workshops on March 13, 2015, is available at http://www.date-conference.com/conference/event-overview
Exhibition
The DATE 2015 Exhibition will run for three days from Tuesday, March 10 until Thursday, March 12, 2015, in the entrance foyer of the Alpexpo congress centre.
