VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe SPRING '91 MEETING April, 24-26, 1991, IMT, Marseille, France VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe: The VHDL-Forum for CAD in Europe is the European VHDL Users' Group active in VHDL related Topics & Standardization Efforts and was founded at the IFIP VLSI'89 in Munich. The members belong to an international range of companies, institutes and universities, VHDL users as well as VHDL vendors. The motivation and history of the group was the European diverse experience in the field of HDLs & related topics (description, simulation, synthesis, formal proof & verification,...). The VHDL-Forum is related to the VHDL Users' Group (US) and to the different VHDL standardization groups (DASS, European WG on VHDL Standardization). The previous meetings (Fall'89 (Munich), Spring'90 (Grassau/Munich), Fall'90 (EUROVHDL, Marseille) have shown great interest in the activities of this group. Immediately preceding the VHDL-Forum Spring '91 Meeting, and organized at the same location in close cooperation, the IFIP CHDL '91 (Tenth International Symposium on Computer Hardware Description Languages and their Applications) will be held. Common sessions are scheduled for April 24 in the afternoon. Because of the complementary nature of both events, VHDL-Forum being more specialized and user oriented, CHDL being more general and research oriented, we encourage visitors to attend both. In registering to both at the same time, you will save administrative costs. The Spring '91 Meeting is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing IFIP WG 10.2/10.5. Hosted by Institut Mediterraneen de Technologie. General Chair: Andreas Hohl, SIEMENS, FRG Program Committee: D. Borrione, France, A. Hohl (Chair), FRG, J. Mermet, France, G. Musgrave, U.K., A.
