INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON RAPID SYSTEM PROTOTYPING Call for Participation Co-Sponsored by the Design Automation Technical Committee the Technical Committee on Simulation and the Test Technology Technical Committee of the IEEE Computer Society and the SIGSIM of the ACM *************************************************************************** Theme: Shortening the path from specification to prototype Place: Sheraton Imperial Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Date: June 5-7, 1990 *************************************************************************** PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP: The 1990 International Rapid System Prototyping workshop is intended to bring together system designers, modeling and tool developers, integrated circuit designers, and test experts to explore synergistically problems, issues, and techniques in the area of rapid system prototyping. Areas of special interest are system specification, system modeling, system design, system test and validation, and system life cycle cost. Issues concerning the interrelations of these areas are of particular interest. Presentations related to models that emulate systems functions in a hierarchical sense, hardware to software mapping, model validation techniques, and design for manufacturing that illustrate the benefits of rapid system prototyping are solicited. FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP: High interaction among the participants involved in different phases of the system prototyping process is the point of emphasis in this workshop. A three-hour session will be conducted for each topic to be explored. Thirty-minute presentations will be conducted during a session. An abstract of the presentations will be published in the workshop record which will be available to the participants at registration. During the presentations the use of recording and/or photographic equipment is strictly prohibited. PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKSHOP: Attendance at the workshop is limited to 150 persons, and is by invitation. To receive an invitation for participation, send a letter to the Program Chairman briefly outlining your area of involvement in system prototyping and your qualifications to be a working participant. To submit a paper for consideration, send an extended summary to the Program Chairman. Your letter or paper submission must be received by February 15, 1990. You will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 1990.

WORKSHOP LOCATION INFORMATION: The Sheraton Imperial Hotel, conveniently located just one exit from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, is adjacent to the largest planned research park in the United States, Research Triangle Park. RTP is a center for scientific and technological innovations, consisting of over 50 corporations. Three major cities surround Research Triangle Park. Raleigh is the state capital and home to North Carolina State University. Durham has Duke University and Duke Medical Center, and there's the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. MORE INFORMATION: If you wish more information about the workshop, contact the Workshop Program Chairman. An advance program will be made available to the participants May 1, 1990. -- Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.
