NASCUG

The North American SystemC User’s Group (NASCUG) accelerates the use of SystemC for both new and established users by providing venues for users to contribute, learn, and interact. Following the great success of our previous meetings, we are calling for contributions to NASCUG 17 to be held Monday, February 27, 2012. The meeting is co-located with Design & Verification Conference 2012 (DVCon) in San Jose, California, USA.

A central component of the half-day user's group meeting is a number of short user experience presentations discussing techniques of design, modeling and verification using SystemC.
