                            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:

           - architectural issues in hardware synthesis

           - applications  of  software  synthesis   to   hardware
             synthesis

           - high level specification translation

           - design style selection

           - design  representation translation (eg. from behavior
             level to mask)

           - correctness and verification

           - hardware/software tradeoffs

           - the  relationship  between  high-level  architectural
             decisions 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 summary
        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.  For further information contact one of the following:
