    ZORIAN WINS IEEE'S HANS KARLSSON AWARD

    Test & Measurement World Online webzine, MA
    Nov 4 2006

    Dr. Yervant Zorian, VP and chief scientist at Virage Logic, has
    received the Hans Karlsson Award for Technical Leadership and
    Achievement Through Collaboration from the IEEE Computer Society.

    The award was presented on November 1, 2006. Deborah Cooper,
    president of the IEEE Computer Society, presented Zorian with the
    award and noted, "I am pleased to present this award to Dr. Yervant
    Zorian, whose seminal work in shaping the semiconductor industry
    honors Hans Karlsson's memory. At the core of the Hans Karlsson
    Award is recognition of technical leadership, diplomacy, and joint
    achievement. Dr. Zorian's work as a founder, leader, and advocate of
    IEEE Standard 1500 put to the test his honed diplomatic skills. His
    outstanding achievement working with a highly diverse team is testament
    to his exemplary leadership skills. We are fortunate to have Yervant
    as a leader, a colleague and friend of the IEEE Computer Society."

    The IEEE Computer Society's selection committee, comprising
    distinguished professionals in the computer industry, selected Zorian
    based on nominations and recommendations from his peers. The Hans
    Karlsson Award recognizes teamwork in areas of the computer industry
    where individual aspirations, corporate, and organizational rivalry
    can hinder collaboration. Since its inception in 1992, the award has
    only been given six times.

    "Yervant is a recognized visionary in the industry and a key member
    of the Virage Logic executive team. His contributions in the area
    of embedded memory test and repair helped Virage Logic define a new
    class of IP that we call 'Silicon Aware IP'," said Adam Kablanian,
    president and CEO at Virage Logic.

    "I am honored to receive this prestigious award," said Zorian,
    in his acceptance speech. "I feel fortunate to work closely
    with so many talented and forward-thinking individuals in the
    semiconductor industry. Our teamwork has fostered system-on-chip test
    interoperability throughout the industry, and allowed us at Virage
    Logic to leverage it and extend it further to achieve self-repair
    in our Silicon Aware IP, and thus create innovative and exceptional
    results that I am extremely proud of."

    Zorian joined Virage Logic in 2000 as chief scientist. Prior to joining
    Virage Logic, he served as chief technology advisor at LogicVision and
    as a distinguished member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Labs. His
    responsibilities included developing and disseminating embedded test
    and repair solutions for IP cores, chips, boards and systems. Zorian
    also serves on the board of directors of several public and privately
    own companies.

    Zorian served as the IEEE Computer Society VP for Conferences and
    Tutorials as well as the editor-in-chief emeritus of the IEEE Design &
    Test of Computers. He also participates in editorial advisory boards
    of IEEE Spectrum and JETTA. He has chaired numerous conferences,
    symposia, workshops, and the IEEE Test Technology Technical Council. He
    founded and chairs the IEEE 1500 Standard Working Group, and the
    IEEE Infrastructure IP Workshop and Design-for-Manufacturability &
    Yield Workshop.

    Zorian has authored over 300 papers and four books, received
    several best paper awards, and holds fourteen US patents. He is a
    Golden Core Member of IEEE Computer Society, Honorary Doctor of the
    National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, and a Fellow of IEEE. He
    was the 2005 recipient of the prestigious IEEE Industrial Pioneer
    Award. He was also selected by EE Times among the top 13 influencers
    on the semiconductor industry. Zorian received his master's degree
    in computer engineering from the University of Southern California,
    a doctorate in electrical engineering from McGill University, and
    an executive master's degree in business administration from Wharton
    School of Business, University of Pennsylvania.

    The Hans Karlsson award, given by the IEEE Computer Society,
    was established in 1992 in memory of Hans Karlsson, chairman and
    father of the IEEE 1301 family of standards. The award is presented
    in recognition of outstanding technical skills and dedication to
    diplomacy, team facilitation, and joint achievement, in areas of
    the computer industry where individual aspirations and corporate and
    organizational rivalry could otherwise be counter to the common good.
