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.
