IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
1991 WORKSHOP ON VLSI
February 10 - 13, 1991
Orlando, Florida
Purpose:
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presentation
and discussion of the progress and problems of current interest in
VLSI. Sessions are planned on the following topics: VLSI and Solid
Modeling/ Computer Graphics, Logic Synthesis, Asynchronous Logic,
Programmable Technologies and Timing Verification. One Keynote talk
is tentatively planned. There will be a Poster Session on Tuesday,
Feb. 12, 1991.
This annual workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on VLSI and the University of Central Florida.
Participation:
All presentations will be given by speakers that the Program Committee
has invited. There will be no proceedings so that the speakers will be
able to present their most recent results and ideas. Attendance at
the workshop is limited to 80 persons to encourage interaction.
Workshop Registration:
The registration fee of $250 for IEEE members and $275 for non-members
includes one dinner, three lunches, three Continental breakfasts,
coffee breaks and workshop fees. The registration form at the end of
this message must be received no later than January 18, 1991.

Lake Buena Vista, Fl 32830-0100 (Fax 407-828-2184; Tel:407-828-3120)
and mention IEEE Computer Society meeting Feb.10-13, 1991 at Dis-
ney's Village Resort. You can also obtain it from the Local
Arrangements Chair (address given below). If you wish to
share a room with someone, you should coordinate your reservation with
your roommate(s) directly in order to take advantage of shared
expenses. The World Disney World must receive a payment of $143.00
(including 6% sales tax and 4% resort tax) to hold the reservation by
