                    DESIGN METHODOLOGIES FOR
                VLSI AND COMPUTER ARCHITECTURES

                 Pisa: 19th-23rd September 1988

                        CALL FOR PAPERS

  Technical Committee TC-10 of the International Federation of
  Information Processing aims to promote and coordinate infor-
  mation exchange on concepts, methodologies, evaluation meth-
  ods and tools in the design  of digital systems.  As part of
  its programme for 1988, TC-10  is organising a conference of
  design methodologies  for VLSI circuits and  computer archi-
  tectures, to be held in Pisa,  Italy, from 19th to 23rd Sep-
  tember  1988.   The conference  will  cover  all aspects  of
  design, from circuit level to instruction-set level, includ-
  ing hardware  description techniques,  notational frameworks
  specification and verification, and design automation tools.
