DesignCon is here !!!

I know you all have been waiting for this blog to be back up 
Well the first post of this year is going to be on DesignCon. Being the chairman for the AMS track, I wanted to create, in addition of the track, some specific events that would relate to behavioral modeling. Behavioral modeling is a vast topic that can be approached through different angles, specifically at a conference as broad as DesignCon.
I put together two events, a tutorial and a panel, and I got fortunate to get industry experts to present and discuss each domain. I am listing below information for each event.
The tutorial can be accessed at:

As you can see, we are adopting a progressive approach starting from IBIS/spice model , then migrating to a more system level approach (matlab) and concluding with behavioral modeling specific to mixed signal/digital verification (verilogA/AMS, real number modeling). I have interviewed below our speakers to give us more insights on their material.
The panel will then conclude our AMS track by discussing those approaches, the motivations behind behavioral modeling but also its future.
Some of the questions:
