Virtutech, Inc., the leader in virtualized software development (VSD) solutions for electronic systems, today announced that CEO John Lambert will speak about the history of VSD and how the Virtutech Simics® virtual platform is bringing full system development to the semiconductor industry. The discussion will take place during The European Tech Tour Semiconductor Summit, November 4-5, 2008 at The Montreux Palace in Switzerland.

Lambert will highlight specific examples of how Virtutech customers are leveraging the Simics platform to fundamentally change their business and development processes and thereby bringing time-to-market advantages through accelerated full system development. He’ll also discuss the radical changes brought about by multicore development and how VSD is being deployed to solve these unique challenges.

“Not only is Virtutech taking a lead in driving development standards for the VSD industry, we’re also continually raising the performance bar for VSD with updates to the Simics platform and in the game-changing ways our customers and partners are deploying Simics,” said John Lambert, CEO of Virtutech. “By creating revolutionary change in the product development process at a full system level rather than a component level our ultimate goal is to drive mainstream acceptance of VSD throughout the electronic systems development business.”
