In this day and age of Enron, MCI-Worldcom, and EDAC reporting 3 consecutive bad quarters for EDA, this CEO panel will have a no-holds-barred discussion of whether or not EDA is a safe investment. How does competing against Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor affect the survival chances for an EDA start-up? How do Wall Street impressions influence the tools that chip designers use today? Which small EDA start-ups do you expect to be gone a year from now? What will a war with Iraq do to the EDA industry economically?
