System LSIs with millions of gates have already entered a new stage of practical use, and design and development technologies are about to enter a new era. What are required now are unprecedented solutions that can be obtained by combining leading-edge technologies in diverse areas-advanced device technologies such as ASICs and FPGA/PLD, IP reuse, integrated software and various design services. To fulfill this requirement, the event is going to make new strides, becoming a solutions Fair featuring extensive technological information. Under the new name "Electronic Design and Solution Fair," we will strive to enhance the event for visitors by offering a myriad of solutions.

The EDSFair has commenced a cooperative relationship with the U.S. Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDAC). Based on this relationship, in June 2001 in Japan and at the DAC in the United States, joint press releases were issued in Japan and the United States, and promotional activities for the EDSFair, including those targeting participants in and attendees to DAC, have been implemented. By actively inviting the participation of leading Western companies, centered on members of EDAC and those participating in DAC and DATE, the organizers of the EDSFair will introduce cutting edge technologies to Japanese attendees, marking the start of the internationalization of the EDSFair.

This year, the exhibition space in Pacifico Yokohama will be expanded to use new exhibition halls and an annex hall which were completed in July. Conferences requiring admission fees will be held in the annex hall. Conference rooms in the new exhibition hall afford excellent facilities for exhibitor seminars, which will create a more comfortable and favorable environment. As a result, total exhibition space expanded, and amenity space such asaan exhibitor lounge provided.
