   SESSION 31
  PANEL: Is Methodology the Highway Out of Verification Hell?
  Chair: Gabe Moretti - Consultant, Venice, FL
  Organizers: Francine Bacchini

  Few would disagree that verification takes the lion's share of today's project resources. Given verification's tremendous burden and its painful impact on fundamental design quality and time-to-market demands, what is our industry doing in response? This panel explores where the methodology highway is taking us--is the destination heaven or just another level of Dante's inferno?
