                          THIRD EUROPEAN EDIF FORUM
                          =========================

                                Bonn, Germany
                           12th, 13th October 1989



                 Organized by the German EDIF Interest Group
                             in cooperation with
                            European EDIF Groups

   ________________________________________________________________________

                              CAD Integration
                              ---------------

   In recent years, the integration and interworking of CAD systems and CAD
   tools has been identified as a topic of considerable importance. Several
   standardisation efforts have started, and foremost among these has been 
   the development of a standard data exchange format for electronic design
   data.

                                  EDIF
                                  ----

   EDIF, the Electronic Design Interchange Format, is a formal ANSI/EIA 
   standard. Furthermore, EDIF has already become the *de facto* industry 
   standard, widely used by companies and research laboratories in the USA, 
   Europe and Japan. Since EDIF Version 2 0 0 was published in March 1987, 
   many real EDIF implementations have been developed.


                             Forum Programme
                             ---------------

   and companies from several countries in Europe, as well as from the USA.

   In the panel session "EDIF Exploitations", several large European 
   companies and large standardisation projects will describe and discuss

   The existence of the European EDIF Forum is acting as a focus for a 
   number of related meetings. In particular, there will be a public CFI 
   Meeting on October 10th and 11th, also at the Maritim Hotel. In addition,
   a number of EDIF Technical Subcommittee and EDIF Working Group Meetings 
   are being organized in association with the Forum.

   The Forum as well as these other meetings will offer you an excellent and
   unique opportunity to discuss with experts in the field of data exchange
   and CAD Frameworks in general.
