                    Module Generation and Silicon Compilation

             Nemacolin Woodlands, Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania, USA
                                 May 20-22, 1991

                             Sponsored by ACM's SIGDA

                           FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

      You are invited to participate in the second Physical Design  Workshop
      to  be held at The Nemacolin Woodlands Conference Center in the Laurel
      Highlands  outside  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania  on  May  20-22,   1991.
      Presentations will focus in IC physical design with emphasis on recent
      developments in module generation and silicon compilation including:

                o layout from netlists
                o layout to/from schematics
                o layout from behavioral HDL's
                o performance driven layout
                o experiences with silicon compilation
                o layout benchmark results

      The workshop will be limited in the number of attendees.
      To facilitate comparison of results a set of standard  benchmark  cir-
      cuits will be distributed by December 1990.  Please contact the bench-
      mark chair to obtain more information about  the  benchmarks  for  the
      workshop.

      Participants wishing to deliver a presentation should submit 14 copies
      of  a  manuscript  whose length does not exceed 3000 words, apart from
      figures, indicating the status of the work  and  significant  results.
      Proposals  will  be  reviewed  by  the technical program committee.  A
      proceedings will be published and distributed at  the  workshop.   The
      submission deadline is January 11, 1991.
