CFP: 9th Intl. Symposium on System Synthesis

                          -----------------------------------------------
                          9TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SYSTEM SYNTHESIS
                          -----------------------------------------------
                                La Jolla, California, November 6-8, 1996


                                                      CALL FOR PAPERS
                          -----------------------------------------------




ISSS'96 is oriented towards design automation professionals and presents
the latest results in emerging system design and synthesis technologies.
Original technical papers on, but not limited to, the following topics
are invited:




        1. System-level synthesis: Architectures; partitioning;
              transformations; design reuse; quality measures and
              estimation; specification languages; intermediate forms;
              system testbench development.


        2. Hardware-software co-design: Hardware/software tradeoffs;
              interfaces and communication; co-simulation, co-emulation
              and co-synthesis; prototyping; embedded system architectures.


        3. Programmable processor-based design and synthesis:
              Code generation; instruction-set specification, design
              and simulation; high-level code transformations.


        4. High-level synthesis: Datapath, control, memory, and
              interface synthesis from behavioral specifications;
              clocking/timing optimization; physical design models for
              high-level tradeoffs; hardware accelerators/coprocessors.


        5. Design experience and methodologies: Application-specific
              parallel/distributed systems; industrial telecom, robotics,
              vision, video, audio and speech processing systems; design
              methodology; process management.


        6. Synthesis for low power, testability and verifiability.


        7. Embedded and real-time software: Software development;
              constraint specification; process scheduling; real-time
              operating systems; distributed systems.




Submitted papers should be 12 pages or less, clearly specifying
contributions and results, and including a cover page with the
following: paper title; complete name, address, telephone, fax,
and email address of each author; identification of the corresponding
author; and the category (numbered 1-7 above) most closely matching
the paper's content. The Symposium proceedings will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society Press. To encourage exchange of preliminary
work, authors of an accepted paper may withhold formal publication;
however, submissions simultaneously sent to other forums will not be
considered. 8 copies of the paper should be sent along with the cover
page to the Program Chair at the following address (alternatively, the
paper and cover page may be submitted electronically as uuencoded
Postscript files to the given email address):
