                                     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          will not be published but copies of presentation material will be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.  For more information
