Sunnyvale, Calif.--November 6, 1992--Open Verilog International (OVI) today
announced program information for its second annual International Verilog
HDL Conference, March 22-24, 1993 at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, CA.
The Conference program includes a Keynote luncheon address on Tuesday,
March 23rd given by Prabhu Goel, past founder and president of Gateway
Design Automation, the company that introduced the first Verilog HDL
simulator in 1985. The Conference is open to OVI members and non-members,
as well as new and future Verilog language users.

According to Jim Hill, International Verilog HDL Conference chairman and
CAD Artisans' chairman and CEO, "The second annual International Verilog
HDL Conference is open to everyone interested in HDLs and their future. The
OVI-sponsored meeting allows Verilog HDL users and vendors to interact and
exchange ideas about the future of Verilog and top-down design. This year's
Conference theme of 'Design Excellence for Today and Tomorrow' is reflected
in the Conference program and sessions about successful Verilog designs and
the future of HDLs."

The first day of the Conference offers tutorials for new Verilog language
users and users who wish to extend their knowledge of the language.
Tutorial topics range from an introduction to the Verilog language to
advanced synthesis and modeling sessions, covering architectural and
behavioral modeling for systems level designs. 

The second and third days of the Conference include presentations, panels,
exhibits, a hospitality reception and working group sessions. Topics vary
from case studies and user experiences to synthesis, test technology and
model interoperability. Panels offer insights on several HDL topics:
Verilog language extensions, model interoperability and the state of
Verilog. Over 25 exhibitors will be demonstrating their Verilog products
and services. In addition, the Conference includes a special open OVI
session that provides an opportunity to meet the OVI Board members and
Technical Committees chairs and discuss Verilog's future. 

OVI exists to support and promote the use of Verilog HDL. OVI consists of
over 45 members, including electronic systems, EDA tool vendors,
semiconductor companies and universities. Verilog HDL is supported by over
135 libraries from 29 vendors. There are between 15,000-20,000 designers
using Verilog HDL. Over 130 universities worldwide teach Verilog HDL. The
1992 OVI Directory of Service and Support lists over 35 companies
supporting the Verilog language with services and products.
