Fifth MIT Conference on
ADVANCED RESEARCH IN VLSI
Design and Applications of
Very Large Scale Systems
March 28-30, 1988
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139
The field of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) is concerned with the design,
production, and use of highly complex integrated circuits. Many disciplines,
including computer architecture, computer-aided design, parallel algorithms,
semiconductor technology, and testing are involved. In addition, novel uses
of the technology and concepts originally developed for integrated circuits
are emerging, including integrated sensor arrays, digital photography, highly
parallel computers, microactuators, neural networks, and a variety of special-
purpose architectures and networks of special-purpose devices. This
conference, the tenth in a series that has been held at MIT, Caltech, UNC, and
Stanford, deals with all these topics, and attempts to promote interactions
among them.
Original research papers are sought in any of the following or related areas:
Parallel architectures and algorithms VLSI devices and circuits
Special-purpose architectures Neural networks
Fault tolerance Integrated sensors, actuators
Layout and routing and displays
Testing Automated semiconductor manufacturing
Computer-aided design Novel technologies
VLSI theory Wafer-scale systems
VLSI applications
EXTENDED ABSTRACTS of about ten pages (fourteen copies) should be sent by
September 11, 1987, to:
VLSI Conference
Microsystems Research Center
Room 39-321
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA 02139
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of this conference, authors are urged
to explain the significance of their work to nonexperts. Notification of
acceptances will be sent to authors by November 2, 1987. Camera-ready copy
will be due January 4, 1988 so that the proceedings can be available at the
conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth Annual ACM Symposium on
COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY
6-8 June 1988
University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign, Illinois
Papers presenting original research in
computational geometry are being sought. Suggested
topic areas include (but are not limited to):
* design and analysis of geometric algorithms
* data structures for computational geometry
* applications with a geometric flavor, including
-- robotics: collision avoidance, motion planning
-- computer graphics: hidden surface and rendering algorithms
-- solid modeling and freeform surface modeling
-- pattern recognition: shape decomposition
* mathematical bases for computational geometry
* issues arising from the implementation of geometric algorithms
* programming language issues in computational geometry
Authors should send eleven (11) copies of an extended abstract
by December 15, 1987 to the Program Committee Chair:
Bernard Chazelle
Department of Computer Science
Princeton University
Princeton, NJ 08544
Late submissions risk rejection without further consideration.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February
9, 1988. A copy of each accepted paper, typed on model paper, will be due
by March 16, 1988, for inclusion in the proceedings.
Authors are advised to prepare their extended abstracts carefully.
Each submission should begin with a succinct
statement of the problems, the main results, and the
significance of the work in the context of previous research.
The extended abstract (not a full paper)
should provide sufficient detail
to allow the program committee to evaluate the quality of the
contribution and its appropriateness to the
conference. The entire extended abstract should not exceed
10 double-spaced pages.
The Symposium is sponsored by ACM SIGACT and SIGGRAPH. Proceedings
will be distributed at the Symposium and will be subsequently available
for purchase from ACM.
