Lip-Bu Tan at DAC 2014: "Systems of Systems" Not Business as UsualIndustry Insights Blog - Richard Goering , CadenceJun. 11, 2014 |
An automobile is a perfect example of a "system of systems," according to Lip-Bu Tan, Cadence president and CEO. In a short visionary talk at last week's Design Automation Conference (DAC 2014), Tan talked about the challenges behind "system of systems" design and showed how it's changing relationships among various ecosystem players.
The DAC 2014 program featured brief "visionary talks" by each of the three major EDA CEOs preceding one of the DAC keynote speeches. Tan's talk, titled "Innovation in Systems of Systems," preceded a keynote speech by Karim Arabi, vice president of engineering at Qualcomm. Aart de Geus, Synopsys CEO, and Wally Rhines, Mentor Graphics CEO, gave visionary talks prior to other DAC keynotes.
