ICCD'93 International Conference on Computer Design: 
        VLSI in Computers & Processors.

   CALL FOR PAPERS  ICCD'93: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER DESIGN

Sponsored by: IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and The IEEE Computer Society 
In Cooperation with: IEEE Electronic Devices Society 

Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts 
October 3-6 1993

ICCD covers all aspects of the design and implementation of VLSI
computer and processor systems. The multi-disciplinary nature of the
conference is intended to emphasize the interactions among
architecture, computer-aided design, design & test, technology and
computer-based systems design.  Original papers are
solicited in the following areas:

(1) Embedded Systems

Innovative embedded systems, includeing automotive, medical, machine
control, robotics, telecommunications, or any other electronic or
computer-based systems.  Design techniques for embedded systems
including hardware-software co-design, compilation and parallel
programming techniques for embedded systems, performance analysis,
design methodologies.

(2) VLSI & Technology 

State of the Art System Integration, Packaging, Wafer-Scale
Integration, ASIC, Gate array and FPGA architectures, Environmental
Factors, Optical Interconnects, VLSI:CMOS, Bipolar, GaAs, Low
Temperature, Mixed Technologies, Storage: Optical, Magnetic,
Semiconductor.

(3) Architecture and Algorithms 

Computer Architecture, Concurrent Computers, Digital, Signal and Image
Processors, Data Base Machines, Graphics Processors, Architectural
Support for Operating Systems and Languages, Computer Design: Cache
and Memory System Design, Processor Design, Computer Arithmetic,
Computer Networks, Algorithms fo particular machines, Design and
Analysis of Algorithms, Parallel Algorithms, Numerical Methods.

(4) Design & Test 

Mixed analogue/digital design and test, design and test of digital
circuits and arrays and cellular structures, self-timed designs,
synchronisation strategies, clock distribution schemes,
arbiters,controllers. Design for multiple factors as testability,
speed, power, area, reliability, and tradeoffs between factors,
economic issues. Reliable computing, system test, system performance
evaluation. Concurrent engineering methodologies, system partitioning
issues.

(5) Computer-Aided Design 

High-Level timing issues, FPGA design and support, Design of
Multi-Chip Modules, Asynchronous Design, Formal Verification,
High-Level Synthesis, Silicon Compilation, Automatic Layout,
Placement and Routing, Layout Verification, Timing Analysis, Logic
and Circuit Simulation, Multiprocessor and Parallel Processing,
Implementation of CAD Algorithms, Dedicated CAD Hardware, Integrated
CAD Systems.



Papers which describe innovative features of new products, and which
describe the overall integration of these five areas into the computer
design process are of particular interest for ICCD.  Awards will be
presented to the best conference papers in each technical area.

Instructions to Authors: 

Prospective authors are invited to submit a draft version or a full
paper of at least 2000 words but not longer than 20 double spaced
pages. The submission should include key ideas and results, i.e., 
(a) a clear description of the contribution and why it is important,
(b) for original research submissions state what is novel about the
contribution, (c) for review and tutorial submissions state the
contribution to the multi-disciplinary mission of the conference.
