ARM And Artisan Combine To Deliver System-On-Chip IP Solutions

What
ARM announces that executives from Broadcom Corporation, Dolby Laboratories, and the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) will be keynote speakers at the inaugural ARM Developers' Conference. 

Dr. Henry Samueli, co-founder and CTO of Broadcom Corporation will explore both the historical and future technology and business trends that provide the basis for a broadband connected world.  He will discuss the associated challenges and opportunities, as well as the implications of enabling virtually every electronic device to be connected to a network.  In addition, Samueli will share his thoughts about how the wireless sector is leading the way as the adoption of Bluetooth and Wireless LAN technology continue to proliferate in consumer devices.

Steve Vernon, vice president of licensing and technology for Dolby Laboratories will provide insights on the future of entertainment technology and the consumer experience, including the latest innovations in home and "on the go" solutions.  He will also discuss how technological advances are enabling Dolby formats in memory-constrained applications, and address the challenges inherent to designing for the portable and networked markets.

Jodi Shelton, executive director of the FSA will address the likely shape of the semiconductor landscape at the end of this decade, including insights on power shifts the industry will see along the way.  She will discuss how the fabless model will evolve, the impact of an ever-growing market in Asia, the changing role of IP providers and EDA companies, and the shift of design and manufacturing centers around the world.

The goal of the conference is to offer opportunities for attendees to learn from and interact with leaders throughout the semiconductor design chain. In addition to the keynote speeches, attendees can also view over 100 demonstrations of the latest technology from industry leaders, choose from over 180 classes, labs, workshops and panels, and view and test proven solutions and services for a broad range of applications from Partners in the ARM® Connected Community.  Both ARM and its Partners will also be introducing new ARM technology-based offerings.
