TITLE: SYSTEM-LEVEL DESIGN USING SYSTEM-C
The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) is an independent not-for-
profit organization composed of a broad range of companies,
universities and individuals dedicated to supporting and
advancing SystemC as a de facto open source standard for system-
level design. OSCI provides an interoperable, modeling platform
to exchange very fast system-level C++ models and develop
seamless tool integration. OSCI also fosters the rapid growth of
a global market for innovative new system-level design solutions.
SystemC is the standard design and verification language built in
C++ that spans from concept to implementation in hardware and
software. Designers design and verify using SystemC and standard
ANSI C++. EDA vendors create tools that are automatically
interoperable.
The SystemC community consists of a large and growing number of
system, semiconductor, IP, embedded software companies and EDA
companies. Community users can click through a web-based license
agreeement, download SystemC source and proceed to use, modify or
improve it - at no cost. These users can advance the standard by
submitting enhancements to the SystemC community via the web and
to the OSCI Steering Group. The Open SystemC Initiative combines
the broadest industry support with the best modeling platform for
advanced system design.
The Open SystemC Initiative is based on an OSI-compliant Open
Source licensing model, meaning that the underlying source code
that forms the platform of SystemC is available to the community
at large, without charge.

Also, a new SystemC book entitled "System Design with SystemC" is
avaiable from Kluwer.
