The main objective of the DInCAD project is

aimed at setting up the frame for an efficient
Brazilian/German internet-based CAD
environment for promoting cooperative research,
development and training activities among partner
institutions in both countries in the design of
dependable microelectronics systems, which is
one of the most dynamically developing fields of
application.
