Topic: Choosing the right process
Author: Ron Wilson 
It used to be that designers would always pick the most recent available process for their new chip designs.

Topic: Embedding Video
Author: Warren Webb
The recent trend toward on-demand video in high volume products such as mobile phones and music players has captured the attention of the consumer while expanding the performance expectations of traditional embedded systems. Designers must redefine the networking bandwidth, built-in storage, processing power, display characteristics, and real-time performance of potential products. Technical editor Warren Webb will examine the standards, off-the-shelf hardware, and compression software available for embedded video designs.
