From: Tulin Mangir <tulin@UCLA-CS.ARPA> UCLA School of Engineering, Computer Science Department is offering a new course, in Spring Quarter, in the area of applications of Expert Systems to CAD and CAT in general, and to VLSI and WSI design and testing specifically. A Brief description of the topics to be covered follows. Some of the projects in this course are extensions of the projects that are started in the "Testing and Design for Testability for VLSI" class that we are offerring once a year. I also teach that course. I welcome any questions, comments, and suggestions and promise to give a state of the course(!) report on line for those who are interested. Tulin E.
