VSI Alliance is now officially represented by ECSI in Europe.

The ECSI Executive Committee agreed on the proposal: having a first agreement between ECSI and VSI Alliance, with ECSI supporting VSI Alliance in Europe, and asked the ECSI Director to continue his work with Stan Baker in order to workout a contract with the Chairman of VSI Alliance. Jean Mermet had several meetings with VSI Alliance, and a contract is up to be signed. As you know from our last ECSI Letter Adam Morawiec is our technical representative for VSI Alliance, and work is progressing very quickly.

A good relation and an active contribution to VSI Alliance is very important for the European companies, and ECSI can help the Europeans in building an accepted partnership with the VSI Alliance. VSI Alliance is intended to be not only an American organisation, but a world-wide, and, the vision of this group is important for the Europeans, too: the VSI Alliance has the goal of accelerating design re-use of Virtual Components through the specification or recommendation of a set of hardware and software inter-faces, formats and design practices.

The VSI Alliance Development Working Groups cover activities where Europeans can also be active because of the importance of the solutions for our companies. The list of the DWGs and the responsible persons are included in Adam's article in the last ECSI Letter. An update is provided hereafter. What could ECSI do? First, we can channel the contribution of the European partners in the direction to VSI Alliance, second, we can be the information platform for our European partners, third, we can promote to use the results within the design work of the European companies. But, this need your active participation!
