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.


TOPIC AREAS
include, but are not limted to:

  - Use of KARL/ABL and related software
      - for specification and verification of digital hardware systems
      - for direct implementation of algorithms onto silicon
      - for chip and digital system design planning
      - as a design calculus
      - as a basis for automatic hardware synthesis
      - for technology independent modeling
      - for testability analysis
      - for test generation
      - for fault simulation
  - Design examples of KARL/ABL and related software
  - Extraction of KARL from layout, circuit netlists and others
  - Teaching experiences with KARL/ABL and related tools
  - Proposals of new design tools around KARL/ABL


REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Authors  are  invited  to submit their extended abstracts or complete papers to
the Program Chairman.

Deadline for abstracts:     March 1st, 1988

Each submission should include:

    author and telephone number(s)

  - Title page:    Title of paper and a list of topics, that most closely match
                   the content of the paper

  - 3 copies of submitted paper:
        extended abstract: 5 pages including figures
    or
        full paper:        100 words abstract and complete text not exceeding
