                    1993 Winter VLSI Workshop
                        Tentative Program

                       February 7-10, 1993
                   Asilomar Conference Center,
                        Pacific Grove, CA

   (Includes Workshop and Conference Center registration forms)

***************************************************************************
Space at the 1993 VLSI Workshop is very limited. If you would like to attend,
please send the registration forms as quickly as possible.
***************************************************************************

Purpose:

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for 
presentation and discussion of the progress and problems of 
current interest in VLSI.  This annual workshop is sponsored by 
the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on VLSI. 

Participation:

All presentations will be given by speakers that the Program 
Committee has invited. There will be no proceedings so that the 
speakers will be able to present their most recent results and 
ideas. Speakers may distribute abstracts on a voluntary basis. 
Attendance at the workshop is limited to 80 persons to encourage 
interaction. 

Workshop and Conference Center Registration:

The workshop registration fee is $175 for IEEE or Computer 
Society members, $225 for non members. A separate registration 
form is provided for the Asilomar Conference Center. Asilomar 
registration includes 3 nights lodging (Sunday, Monday, and 
Tuesday), as well as all meals from Sunday Dinner through 
Wednesday lunch. This form should be completed separately, and 
send directly to the conference center.
