                      1992 IEEE International Workshop on
                  Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI Systems
                               sponsored by the
            IEEE Computer Society, TC on Fault Tolerant Computing
                      in cooperation with the TC on VLSI

                              November 4-6, 1992
                         Fairmont Hotel, Dallas, Texas

                                FINAL PROGRAM

The goal of the workshop is to provide a discussion forum for researchers
and  practitioners dealing with digital, analog, and mixed  VLSI integrated
circuits.  All aspects of design, manufacturing, test,  reliability, and
availability which are  affected by defects during manufacturing and by
faults during system operation  are of interesst.  Presentations  will focus
on the areas of fault and yield models, fault tolerance, test and and
reconfiguration.

LOCAL INFORMATION

The workshop will be held at the Dallas Fairmont Hotel, 1717 N. Akard St.,
Dallas, Texas 75201, Tel.(214) 720-2020, FAX (214) 720-4015.  The Dallas
Fairmont Hotel is located in the Arts District in the heart of downtown
Dallas.  The Fairmont is within five minutes of the Convention Center and
Market Complex, and close to the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Morton H.
Meyerson Symphony Center.

Dallas has an average temperature of 67-46 Fahrenheit (19-8 Celsius), and an
average  rainfall of 2.2 inches in the month of November.  Getting around in
Dallas is very easy, transportation services include auto rentals, taxis
($1.50 base rate + $1.2 for each additional mile), limousines, handicapped
transportation, "Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and even horse-drawn
surreys.  Dallas is a major transportation hub in the U.S.  The city is
located, via air, less than three hours from any major city in the
continental U.S., and is  easily accessible from destinations in Europe and
Asia via its international airport.  Not to be overlooked is the area's
comprehensive system of groud transportation.  Four interstate highways and
many more national and state highways make Dallas a leading hub for
automoblie transportation.  The city is also also served by Amtrak and
Greyhound.  Dallas has two airports:  Love Field pand a major airport
located within the city limits and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Dallas/Fort Worth International is the nation's largest airport (bigger than
Manhattan Island).  It is currently the second busiest airport in the world
-and one of the most modern.  In addition to flights within the U.S., every
day there are non-stop flights to and from  all major international
destinations.  Some carriers are: American Airlines, Continental Airlines,
Delta Airlines, British Airways, and TWA.

The Fairmont is only minutes away from North Dallas, Fort Worth, and both
Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth airports.  Buses are available to the
Fairmont from both airports.
