Call for Participation: ACM/IEEE Workshop: Beyond Behavioral Synthesis Santa Barbara, California, April 30 - May 2, 1986 Cosponsored by IEEE DATC and ACM SIGDA This workshop will focus on synthesis from high level hardware descriptions. Emphasis will be placed on ongoing research rather than completed work. We encourage proposed presentations in the areas of: o architectural issues in hardware synthesis o applications of software synthesis to hardware synthesis o high level specification translation o design style selection o design representation translation (eg. from behavior level to mask) o correctness and verification o hardware/software tradeoffs o the relationship between high-level architectural deci- sions and floorplanning To encourage free exchange of ideas, no proceedings will be published nor will recording be permitted. Handouts may be distributed at the discretion of the speaker. Sessions will be informal, with adequate time for each presentation to catalyze more general discussion. To participate in the workshop, please submit a short sum- mary of your interests and activities in the synthesis field or related area to the workshop chair, Alice Parker, before January 31, 1986. Your summary should include: name, affiliation, address, telephone number, brief biography and (optionally) what you would like to present/discuss at the workshop. Participants will receive registration forms and housing information with their invitations. Invitations will be sent out on February 21, 1986. Attendance will be limited to 60 people.

Hi, Will this be a workshop in the sense that only those presenting papers may attend or may one who has an interest in the subject attend just to listen and learn? If the latter, please send registration information or tell me how to obtain it. Thanks. Charlie Sorsby ...!{cmcl2,ihnp4,...}!lanl!crs crs@lanl.arpa
