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

                             12, 13 October 1989
                    Maritim Hotel/Koenigswinter, Germany



                           CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
                           ======================

                 Organized by the German EDIF Interest Group
                          in cooperation with the
                      European EDIF Steering Committee



                                  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 Objectives
                               ----------------

The objectives of the Forum are to promote awareness and interest in EDIF, 
to show experiences to date with EDIF and to stimulate technical activity 
related to EDIF.


                                 Forum Topics
                                 ------------
The Forum will focus on:

-	the technical content of EDIF Version 2 0 0,
-	experiences of working with EDIF.

Technical contributions on - but not limited to - the following areas of 
interest are invited:

-	EDIF and Printed Circuit Boards
-	EDIF and simulation
-	EDIF and CAD Frameworks
-	The validation of EDIF interfaces
-	EDIF and Computer Integrated Manufacturing
-	Proposals for Extensions to EDIF.


                              Forum Presentations
                              -------------------

The first two European EDIF Forums adopted the policy of making no technical 
distinction between poster presentations and paper presentations. In both 
cases, full papers were published in the Forum Proceedings. This scheme has 
proved very successful, and it will be used again for the Third European 
EDIF Forum.


                                  Abstracts

400 words in length and should provide sufficient information to allow
