• electronicIndia 2008 in Bangalore from September 2 to 5, 2008 to feature an attractive series of talks
• One-day seminar: "Exploring the latest Technologies and Tools in Electronics Design" on design technologies, tools, applications and future developments in the field of programmable logic
  

Everything will revolve around electronics in Bangalore, India’s high-tech metropolis, from September 2 to 5, 2008 when electronicIndia 2008, the leading trade fair for electronic components and electronics production in India and South Asia, is held at the modern Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). Messe München International, the event organizer, is expecting over 1,000 exhibitors, including every renowned company in the electronics and electronics production industries. A three-day series of talks will round off the attractive overall package for the anticipated 15,000 trade visitors at electronicIndia 2008. One of the highlights will be the seminar entitled “Exploring the latest Technologies and Tools in Electronics Design”, which will be staged at the BIEC on September 4, 2008 in conjunction with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
 
The key topic of the one-day seminar will be field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In order to keep pace on the rapidly expanding electronics market in India with different requirements from the application areas of consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical technology and industrial electronics, programmable logic will provide the right momentum. Quick and cost-conscious electronics design is always essential within the meaning of a competitive “time to market” of the final products. In eight individual contributions each lasting approximately 30 minutes, the FPGA seminar will describe the use of FPGAs in different applications, will closely examine new forward-looking applications and will provide specific instructions and information for the technically and economically grounded development of electronics.
 
For example, Parag Kulkarni from Actel Pan Asia will explain how FPGAs can be used to create entirely new products while Pradeep P. Nair from Wipro Technologies will demonstrate in his talk how image and video processing can be used with the assistance of FPGAs in medical applications. Kedar Apte from Patni Computer Systems has chosen the design of programmable logic for industrial applications as his topic. With regard to applications in automobile electronics and mobile electronics, Anil Gupta, Managing Director of ARM, will analyze “Cost implications and interoperability of processor IP for automotive and mobile applications”. Shridhar Laddha from SoftJin Technologies will explain new methods and technologies which are used by software designers and IP suppliers to increase productivity in development. Finally, a representative of the Xilinx company will give a talk entitled “FPGA versus configurable processors: selecting the right device for your application”.
 
There will be ample time and opportunity between the individual talks to exchange experiences and information with other seminar participants and forge important contacts for future projects. The seminar will end with a podium discussion on the following topic: “How FPGA technologies will shape the future of reconfigurable systems“.
 
In addition to the electronics design seminar, two other important events will be held, i.e. on September 2 the “International Conference on Contract Manufacturing: The Indian Perspective” for the EMS market, which is booming in particular in India, and on September 3 the symposium entitled “Trends and Future Requirements in Automotive Electronics” regarding the developments in the growth technology of automobile electronics.
