[net.ai] Course in Expert Systems for CAD/CAT

tulin@UCLA-CS.ARPA (03/23/84)

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.
