                             FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
                                       
                      FIRST CANADIAN CONFERENCE ON FPGAs
	         

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE:

The goal  of  the First Canadian Conference on FPGAs is to provide a forum for
a discussion on design and applications of  field  programmable arrays.  It is
hoped that this forum will be conducive to  the  exchange of ideas between the
academic and industrial communities.

To facilitate this exchange, opportunity will  be  given  to  major industrial
leaders to pass on their latest developments  to  their colleagues in both the
industrial and academic community.

A number of hands-on  workshops  will  be  available so that designers will be
able to form comparisons of today's technologies, devices and design tools.


UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS:

Universities  will  have the opportunity to show the  results  of  their  FPGA
activities in education as well as research.  This  can  either be in the form
of poster demonstrations or presentations.


Areas of Interest (suggested but not limited to)

1)      Re-use of Hardware
2)      Dynamical/Partial Reconfiguration
3)      Architectures and Technology
4)      Design and Development Tools
5)      Design Techniques
6)      Novel Applications
7)      Industrial Case Studies/Experiences
8)      Comparisons of PLDs/FPGAs/Gate Arrays
9)      Analog Field Programmable Arrays (FPA)
10)     Educational Uses and Experiences


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Initial submissions of papers should be limited to ten  pages  including title
pages and figures.  The final submission of a paper should  be  in  a  camera-
ready format.  Initial submission deadline is February 1, 1993.
