TITLE: Esterel Technologies Academic Program

The Esterel Technologies Academic Program is designed to  support
educators using Esterel Technologies software tools for classroom
teaching. Esterel  Technologies  offers  universities  access  to
Esterel  Studio  and/or  SCADE  licenses  on  a yearly basis. The
program allows up to 20 simultaneous users  on  a  LAN,  free  of
charge.

Esterel  Technologies'  products  allow  developers   to   create
unambiguous   specifications   that  can  generate  an  automated
implementation guaranteed to match the specification 100%.  Tuned
to  design  critical paths in control-dominated circuits, Esterel
Studio is based on  Esterel,  a  formally  provable,  synchronous
language   based  on  finite  state  machine  syntax.  Users  run
simulation  and  formal  verification  and   then   automatically
generate  C/  C++,  Verilog  or  VHDL.  The proprietary language,
Esterel, supports cycle-level concurrency as opposed  to  SystemC
which supports software concurrency.
