For those of you planning to submit papers to the Design Automation Conference (to be held in Orlando next June), please note that the deadline for submission is one week away (November 6th). Here are the details on submission requirements: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 27th ACM/IEEE DESIGN AUTOMATION CONFERENCE Orlando Convention Center, June 24-28, 1990 DAC90 is the premier conference devoted solely to the field of Design Automation. All Aspects of the use of computers as aids to the design process, from conceptual design through manufacturing, are included. Four paper types are included: regular paper sessions, short paper sessions, panels and tutorials. REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors should submit their papers to the Program Chair no later than November 6, 1989. Each submission should include one cover page and eight stapled copies of the complete manuscript. The one cover page should include: - Name(s), affiliation(s), complete address(es), identification of principal author, telephone number and FAX number. - The following signed statement: "All appropriate organizational approvals for the publication of this paper have been obtained. If accepted, the author(s) will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion in the conference proceedings and will present the paper at the conference." The eight copies of the complete manuscript should each include: - Title and abstract page: title of paper, 60-word abstract indicating significance of contribution, and an ordered list of number(s) from the categories below that most closely match the content of the paper. To permit blind review, do not include name(s) of author(s) on this page. - The complete text of the paper in English, including all illustrations and references, not exceeding 5000 words. The length of the paper is considered in the review process. Notice of acceptance will be mailed to the principal authors by February 15, 1990. Authors of accepted papers must sign a copyright release form. TOPICS OF INTEREST Authors are invited to submit original technical papers describing recent and novel research or engineering developments in all areas of design automation. Topics include, but are not limited to: 1.1 Electrical Simulation 1.2 Discrete Simulation 1.3 Timing Verification 2.1 Test Validation and Testability Analysis 2.2 Test Pattern Generation and Design-for-Test 2.3 Formal Methods for Design Verification 3.1 Floorplanning and Placement 3.2 Global and Detailed Routing 3.3 Physical Module Generation 3.4 Symbolic Layout and Compaction 3.5 Complete Layout Systems 3.6 Layout Verification (DRC, ERC) 4.1 Logic Synthesis and Optimization 4.2 Register-Level Synthesis and Optimization 4.3 Behavioral Synthesis and System-Level Design Aids 5.1 Behavioral and Hardware Description Language 5.2 Design Systems and Databases 6.1 DA for IC Fabrication 6.2 Computer Aids for Manufacturing 7.1 DA for Analog Circuits 7.2 High Speed Systems and Microwave DA 7.3 DA for Electronic Packaging 8.1 Human Factors in DA 8.2 Software Engineering in DA PANELS, TUTORIALS AND SPECIAL TOPIC SESSIONS Proposals for topics of Panels, Tutorial Sessions and Full-Day Tutorials should be submitted to the Program Chair no later than November 6th. Each proposal should not exceed two pages in length and should include a description of the topic, structure of the session or tutorial and a list of participants. Contact should have been made with all the participants in advance of submission. Special Topic Sessions may be either independent papers with a common theme or a set of closely related papers describing an overall system. In both cases, independent reviews of each paper and evaluation of the session as a whole will be used to select sessions. Proposals for Special Topic Sessions should be submitted along with the papers to be included in the session and should describe the theme of the session. These proposals and papers must be submitted by November 6th to allow for complete review of the papers. PROGRAM CHAIR MP Associates, Inc. ATTN: Alfred E.
