SoC-Mobinet, R&D and education in system-on-chip design

With fabrication technologies enabling the integration of a billion transistors and allowing gigahertz frequencies, complex systems (system-on-chip, SoC) can be realized on a single die. The design of such systems provides tremendous challenges to industry and academia. Universities need to invest a huge effort to restructure their related engineering curricula, which is only possible in close co-operations with industry and other universities. This work describes a project, co-funded by the European Commission and by industry. where in a joint effort related research results are turned into course contents for SoC-curricula and industry training activities.
