Announcing Workshop on VLSI Research & Design in an Academic Environment October 7-9, 1982 The Pennsylvania State Campus University Park, PA This workshop has been organized in recognition of the ever improving VLSI research and design environments at universities. With both the hardware and software design advances, new research areas such as the development of innovative VLSI computer struc- tures and the specification and verification of computational processes implemented in VLSI have become viable alternatives for the academic researcher. In spite of these improvements, the design support environment in academia will remain, for most, below that available in industry. This workshop will focus on the relationship of theory and design of computational systems using VLSI in a limited academic environment. Invited and contributed presentations and panels discussions will emphasize important and successful contributions to VLSI research and design within a university environment. Proceedings will not be published but copies of presentation material will be available at the Workshop. Participation will be limited to ap- proximately 50 attendees. Invited speakers include Keynote Speaker: Danny Cohen, Project Leader, USC/ISI "The MOSIS Silicon Broker" Featured Speakers: Dan Gajski, University of Illinois Dan Atkins, University of Michigan Prospective speakers should submit a two hundred to five hundred word abstract indicating new contributions.
