EDGE: Europe's new ESPRIT project in high-frequency CAD

This paper describes the background, objectives and planned activities for a new European collaborative project in high-frequency analogue CAD. This effort is part-funded by the European Commission within the Information Technologies sector of the EC Fourth Framework Programme (ESPRIT 21404). The project acronym, EDGE, stands Enhanced Design for GaAs/Si in Europe, and the project will run for about two years from April 1996, with a total work-effort of about 27 Person Years.
