Subject: Survey of Professional Organizations (second posting)

There seems to be a good deal of interest in a survey of professional
organizations for simulation but, I have received only one response
from my initial posting (from the System Dynamics Society).  I can add
a little information about the SCS and the IEEE TCSIM but, I suspect
that there is more going on in the world of simulation.  Therefore, I
have selected to post another inquiry.  I will submit the results of
this survey (with the information sources) to Simulation Digest in the
first week of October...

I would appreciate *any* information in the following areas on professional
organizations for simulation:

	o Full name and commonly used acronym

	o Date founded

	o Objective

	o Membership (requirements, size, cost)

	o Publications (newsletters, magazines, etc.)

	o Activities (suborganizations, conferences, etc.)

Any other pertinent information would also be appreciated.  Please
send responses directly to me.

                         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.

                 RAPID SYSTEM PROTOTYPING WORKSHOP

     Workshop Location and Hotel Registration 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

Readers:
 Our gateway node was having problems for a short while -- this 
resulted in 'bikini.cis.ufl.edu' not being available through
Internet. We seem to be back on line again, if you want to 
peruse the archives or simulation tools.

Hello,

I am looking for good magazine articles and/or books that cover computer
hardware description languages.  I am particularly interested in overview
articles and articles that cover the details of specific CHDLs.  Any leads
will be greatly appreciated.  I can summarize the responses i get if there
is an interest.

thanks.
