First Call for Papers
ADVANCED RESEARCH IN V L S I CONFERENCE
MARCH 25-27, 1991
University of California, Santa Cruz
(co-sponsored by U.C. Berkeley)
This conference is the thirteenth in a series that has been held at
Caltech, MIT, University of North Carolina, and Stanford. As in the
past, the main goal of the conference is to promote interaction among
researchers in the various disciplines.
VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) involves the design, manufacture,
and use of systems constructed from complex integrated circuits. It
includes semiconductor devices and processing, circuit and system
design, computer-aided tools and design automation, and systems
architecture.
SYSTEMS DESIGN AND INTEGRATION is the special focus of the 1991
conference. Original research papers are especially welcome on:
SYSTEMS: Architectures using characteristics of VLSI technology and
packaging, systems on a chip; systems integration issues:
partitioning, interfaces, clocking, and synchronization; fault
tolerance, simulation, testing, and formal verification methods.
THEORY: Models of computation for VLSI; massively parallel algorithms;
metrics for evaluating the complexity of algorithms or systems;
TOOLS: Systems modeling tools for experimenting with architectures;
languages to specify or describe interfaces, methods and tools
for behavioral synthesis, design data bases and data management
frameworks.
TECHNOLOGY: Sensor and actuator devices and circuits; integration of
analog and digital circuits; power consumption, distribution,
and cooling; wafer-scale integration and packaging.
As always, papers are welcome on all VLSI fields, especially on new
ideas outside specific categories. The conference is not a showcase for
established systems and CAD tools, but a forum for new ideas. Papers
presented must have enough background to reach novices and enough new
material to please experts.
The FIRM deadline for submission of papers is OCTOBER 15, 1990.
Authors will be notified by November 26, 1990.
Camera-ready manuscripts are due December 29, 1990.
Send 5 copies of draft papers (not to exceed 15 pages) by October 15 to:
Prof. Carlo H. Sequin
University of California
CS Division, 529B Evans Hall
Berkeley, CA 94720
