ANAHEIM, CA–IEEE-ISTO has been awarded the tenth annual Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award sponsored by Synopsys, Inc. Presented today during an early-morning ceremony at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Anaheim, CA, the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award is bestowed annually to an organization that succeeds in driving market acceptance, adoption and implementation of standardized technologies.
“We are recognizing IEEE-ISTO for their role in providing the infrastructure required for today’s consortia and industry entities to standardize technologies and promote worldwide market acceptance and end user deployment,” explained Rich Goldman, vice president of corporate marketing and strategic alliances at Synopsys.
