                               CALL FOR PAPERS
                     1985 CHAPEL HILL CONFERENCE ON VLSI
                               MAY 15-17, 1985

                 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

This  is  the seventh in the series of annual conferences on advanced research
in VLSI (very large scale integration) that  have  been  held  since  1979  at
Caltech  and  at MIT.  These conferences bring together leading specialists in
the wide scope of work  relating  to  the  realization  of  complex  computing
systems  in  VLSI.    This  year's  conference  seeks to emphasize work on the
effects of VLSI on the design of algorithms and on  the  design  of  complete,
integrated  systems.    The conference will continue to be small and informal.
Speakers  will  be  urged  to  explain  the  relevance  of   their   work   to
non-specialists.

CONTRIBUTED PAPERS are sought in the following and related areas:

    - device modeling and fabrication  - hardware design languages
    - design automation                - silicon compilation
    - simulation                       - systems architecture
    - testing                          - special-purpose architecture
    - parallel architectures           - theoretical issues
    - parallel algorithms

DRAFT PAPERS (5 copies) should be sent by JANUARY 15, 1985 to:

    Henry Fuchs, Program Chair
    Dept. of Computer Science
    New West Hall 035A
    Univ. of North Carolina
    Chapel Hill, NC  27514
    (919)966-4650

Notification   of   acceptance  will  be  sent  to  authors  by  February  15.
Camera-ready copies of papers for the Proceedings will be due March 15.

PROCEEDINGS: Bound proceedings, to be published  by  Computer  Science  Press,
will  be distributed to attendees at the start of the conference and available
later from the publisher.

INVITED SPEAKERS: A list of  invited  speakers  will  be  available  with  the
registration invitations.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance is by invitation only.  For information, please write:
