ABAKUS  is  the  User Group of the languages KARL and ABL and related tools for
digital hardware design. The goal of ABAKUS  is  to  support  the  exchange  of
information  and  experience  on  the  use  of  these  tools  in  all  possible
application areas.

The  2nd ABAKUS Workshop follows the EUROMICRO Conference in Zurich. Innsbruck-
Igls is host of our 2nd ABAKUS Workshop.
