                  Call for Participation:
       ACM/IEEE Workshop: Beyond Behavioral Synthesis
    Santa Barbara, California,   April 30 - May 2, 1986
           Cosponsored by IEEE DATC and ACM SIGDA


This workshop  will  focus  on  synthesis  from  high  level
hardware  descriptions.   Emphasis will be placed on ongoing
research rather than completed work.  We encourage  proposed
presentations in the areas of:

o architectural issues in hardware synthesis
o applications of software synthesis to hardware synthesis
o high level specification translation
o design style selection
o design representation translation (eg. from behavior level
to mask)
o correctness and verification
o hardware/software tradeoffs
o the relationship between  high-level  architectural  deci-
sions and floorplanning

To encourage free exchange of ideas, no proceedings will  be
published  nor will recording be permitted.  Handouts may be
distributed at the discretion of the speaker.  Sessions will
be  informal,  with  adequate  time for each presentation to
catalyze more general discussion.

To participate in the workshop, please submit a  short  sum-
mary of your interests and activities in the synthesis field
or related area to the workshop chair, Alice Parker,  before
January  31,  1986.   Your  summary  should  include:  name,
affiliation, address, telephone number, brief biography  and
(optionally)  what  you would like to present/discuss at the
workshop.

Participants will receive  registration  forms  and  housing
information with their invitations. Invitations will be sent
out on February 21, 1986.  Attendance will be limited to  60
people.   For further information contact one of the follow-
