                             Call for Papers
          1991 Systems Design Synthesis Technology Workshop
                          September 10-13, 1991

                      Naval Surface Warfare Center
                       10901 New Hampshire Avenue
                   Silver Spring, Maryland 20903-5000

   This is a call for papers to be presented at the 1991 Systems
Design Synthesis Technology Workshop which will be held September
10-13, 1991 at Naval Surface Warfare Center in Silver Spring,
Maryland.  This workshop is sponsored by the Naval Surface Warfare
Center and the Office of Naval Technology (ONT).

   This workshop will explore issues related to the design synthesis
of complex, computer based MCCS.  Many DoD related systems tend to be
large, complex, fault tolerant, distributed, real-time, time critical
systems.  Of interest is the development and enhancement of the system
level ability to specify, capture, synthesize, analyze, model,
prototype, test and implement such systems.  The emphasis is on
developing forward engineering capabilities, however reverse
engineering capabilities will also be addressed.  Submitted papers
should attempt to focus on one of the areas listed below:

Requirements Specification and Traceability:  

          -   Specification of top level system requirements

          -   Traceability of the requirements through the system
              development process 

System Design Capture and Analysis:  

          -   Capture and analysis of systems including 

              --  Methods used to represent different aspects of
                  the systems

              --  Analysis which can be performed on these
                  representations

System Design Structuring and Allocation Optimization: 

          -   Methods to improve a design given measures of
              effectiveness

Engineering of Massively Interconnected Systems:  

          -   Design and engineering of systems where communication
              requirements dominate computational requirements 

Real-Time Fault Tolerant Systems Design:  

          -   Real-time and/or fault tolerance technologies
          -   Integration of real-time and/or fault tolerance
              technologies into system design

   Please enclose (5) copies of the paper along with a cover letter
with the author's name(s), paper title, area of interest, and the
name, address, FAX, telephone number, and e-mail address (if
available) of the author who is responsible for all correspondence and
preparation for the workshop by 14 June 1991.  The accepted papers
will be published as a Proceedings, which will be distributed within
the Government and also made available to the general public.

                   Submission Deadline:  14 June 1991
                   Acceptance Notification:  12 July 1991
                   Final Paper Submission:  16 August 1991
