                               CALL FOR PAPERS

           IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN

                                  ICCAD-91

                    Submission Due Date:  April 12, 1991

     The 1991 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN will  be
     held  November  10-14, 1991, in Santa Clara, CA.. ICCAD is oriented
     towards Electrical Engineering CAD professionals, concentrating  on
     CAD for Electronic Circuit Design.

     AREAS OF INTEREST

     Original technical papers on (but not  limited  to)  the  following
     topics are invited:
     1) HIGH LEVEL SIMULATION
     2) SIMULATION
     3) HIGH LEVEL SYNTHESIS
     4) LOGIC SYNTHESIS
     5) LAYOUT VERIFICATION/ANALOG CIRCUIT DESIGN
     6) PLACEMENT AND FLOORPLANNING
     7) ROUTING
     8) TESTING
     9) CAD FRAMEWORKS

     AUTHOR INFORMATION

     Authors should submit:
     1) 12 copies of a one-paragraph abstract, and
     2) 12 copies of the completed paper not to exceed 18  double-spaced
     pages, figures and tables included.

     Excessively long submissions and previously published  papers  will
     be returned to the authors.

     NOTE: Papers will be  reviewed  anonymously.   Therefore  ONLY  the
     cover page should identify authors and their affiliations!

     FORMAT

     The ONE-PARAGRAPH ABSTRACT, typed  on  one  separate  page,  should
     clearly  and precisely state what is new and point out the signifi-
     cant results.  The paper should be as  close  as  possible  to  the
     paper  as  you  would expect to see it appear if published.  In the
     detailed description, the author must objectively address  why  the
     proposed  contribution is superior to prior work or what the signi-
     ficance of the contribution is, if breaking new ground.  Demonstra-
     tion of superiority in algorithms and strategies with heuristics is
     required through a description of  the  programming  implementation
     and application to "real" problems.  Additional mathematical proofs
     are welcome.  The contribution should address an  area  of  current
     technical interest to the CAD professional.  A clear description of
     the new contribution, status of the work and  significant  examples
     and appropriate results should be given.

     COVER PAGE REQUIREMENTS

     Submissions should include, on the cover page:  the  title  of  the
     paper;  the  category  1-9,  which most clearly matches the paper's
     content (see Areas of Interest); the  full  name,  complete  return
     address, telephone number and affiliation of each author; and clear
     identification of the individual to whom all  communication  should
     be  addressed.  In giving your return address, please consider that
     the communications for paper acceptance and mailing of the author's
     kit occur in the month of July.
