       The 1996 International Conference on ASIC 
(96' ASICON) will be 
the second international meeting 
on ASIC to be held in China. This Conference
will provide ASIC designers, ASIC users,  
ASIC System Integrators, ASIC manufacturers as 
well as CAD/CAE experts an opportunity to meet 
and present important new development and research 
results at an international forum. A 
best paper award will be presented by the Technical 
Program Committee & Organizing Committee.
 
         An exhibition relating to ASIC design tools,software,
testing, foundry introduction and products will be held
during the Conference. Post Conference tours will follow.

Suggested topics include:
 *ASICs for DSP and image processing (including Video, HDTV etc.).
 *Analog and mixed signal ASICs.
 *ASICs for data computing and telecommunications.
 *ASICs for other systems (include auto-control, medical use, etc.).
 *ASIC testing and design for testability.       
 *PLD and FPGA technology and applications.      
 *CAD/CAE techniques and methodologies as well 
  as applications (include layout analysis and 
 optimization, library development, VHDL, synthesis,
 simulation, modeling and parameters 
extraction and testing).
 *ASIC technology and manufacturing.
 *Package and reliability for ASIC.
 *Other related contents on ASIC.
                       
    Papers will be evaluated with respect to their originality, 
quality and relevance. Submissions from universities,industry and 
government organizations are all encouraged. There will be several 
invited papers on emerging ASIC advanced development.
