We believe that through collaborative efforts, the industry can achieve higher levels of systems-on-silicon integration while reducing the cost and complexity of integrating future design systems. Powerful economic and market forces are fueling demand for rapid integration and delivery of single chip solutions in a multi-vendor environment. Si2 is uniquely positioned to enable collaboration through a strong implementation focus driven by its member companies. Si2 represents members throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
	The Open SystemCTM Initiative (OSCI) is an independent, not-for-profit association composed of a broad range of organizations dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC as an open industry standard for system-level design and verification. The SystemC language and its proof-of-concept open source implementation can be downloaded at www.systemc.org. Attend the ESCUG meeting at Euro DesignCon on Tuesday, 12 October from 17:00-20:00.
	The VSI Alliance (VSIA) is an open, international organization that includes representatives from all segments of the SoC industry: System houses, Semiconductor vendors, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies, and Intellectual Property (IP) providers. VSIA's mission is to dramatically enhance the productivity of the SoC design community by providing leading-edge commercial and technical solutions and insight into the development, integration, and reuse of IP. VSIA has wide industry participation with more than 70 member companies from around the world. Membership is open to any company with an interest in the development and promotion of business solutions and open standards used in the design of System-on-Chip. For more information, visit the VSIA web site at www.vsi.org or email to info@vsi.org.
	Bayern Innovativ Ltd is a publicly held company that was initiated by the Bavarian State Government, located in Nuremberg. It was jointly set up in 1995 by politics, science and industry as a corporation for innovation and technology transfer. Over the last few years, Bayern Innovativ has developed a series of open co-operation networks with participants from Bavaria, Germany and international companies and scientific institutes. One of the networks is the Bavarian Innovation and Cooperation Initiative for Electronics / Microtechnology - BAIKEM, which was founded in 2001.
