International Workshop on
VLSI for Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks
University of Oxford -- 5th-7th September, 1990
AIM
Research on architectures dedicated to artificial intelligence
(AI) processing has been increasing in recent years, since
conventional data- or numerically-oriented architectures are not
able to provide the computational power and/or functionality
required. For the time being these architectures have to be
implemented in VLSI technology with its inherent constraints on
speed, connectivity, fabrication yield and power. This in turn
impacts on the effectiveness of the computer architecture.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where AI experts,
VLSI and Computer Architecture designers can come together to
discuss the present status and future trends on VLSI and ULSI
implementations of machines for AI computing. This workshop will
be held in an informal environment with panel and regular session
along with time for impromptu discussions.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Prospective contributors are invited to submit a 500-1000 word
outline by APRIL 9, 1990. Notification of acceptance will be
posted by JUNE 22, 1990. Please include your electronic mail
(e-mail) address and/or Telex or FAX number.
Final documentation must be received by August 13, 1990 to
guarantee distribution at the workshop.
Selected contributors will be invited to submit their papers for
an edited proceedings to be published in book form around
February 1991.
LOCAL DETAILS
The workshop will be held at the University of Oxford on the 5th
to 7th September 1990 with meals and accommodation available in
Jesus College on the nights of the 4th to 6th September. The
college, founded in 1571 by Queen Elizabeth I, stands close to
the heart of the University and the city's central shopping area.
The University and its colleges are located in the centre of this
historic city with fast connections to London and its airports.
