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.
