1992 Brown/MIT Conference on VLSI and Parallel Systems

Call for Papers
1992 Brown/MIT Conference
Advanced Research in VLSI and Parallel Systems


The design of highly integrated or large-scale systems involves a set
of interrelated disciplines, including circuits and devices, design
automation, VLSI architecture, software systems, and theory.
Successful research in any of these disciplines increasingly relies on
an understanding of the other areas. This conference, the 14th in a
series that has been held at Caltech, MIT, UNC Chapel Hill, Stanford,
and UC Santa Cruz, seeks to promote interaction among researchers in
all disciplines that relate to highly integrated systems. papers are
solicited in the following and related areas:


    CIRCUITS AND DEVICES: Innovative electrical circuits, optical
    computing, automated semiconductor manufacturing, wafer-scale
    systems.


    DESIGN AUTOMATION: Synthesis and silicon compilation, layout
    and routing, analysis and simulation, novel design methods,
    architectural design support, design for test.


    VLSI ARCHITECTURE: Highly parallel architectures, special-purpose
    VLSI chips and systems, novel small-scale systems, I/O and
    secondary storage, packaging, and fault tolerance.


    SOFTWARE SYSTEMS: Architecture-driven programming models, parallel
    languages, compiling for concurrency, operating systems,
    synchronization.


    THEORY: Parallel algorithms, VLSI theory, layout and wireability
    analysis, I/O complexity, interconnection networks, reliability.


Keynote Speaker
STEPHEN NELSON
      Head of massively parallel systems development at Cray Research


CONTRIBUTED PAPERS: Submit five copies of a draft paper, not to exceed
15 pages, with a 500-word abstract by TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1991 to:


Brown/MIT VLSI Conference
545 Technology Square
Cambridge, MA 02139


Please include address, phone number, and email address, if
available, for the contact author. Notification of acceptances will
be sent by December 3, 1991. Camera-ready copy of accepted papers is
due January 7, 1992 so that the proceedings can be available at the
conference.


ORGANIZATION OF THE CONFERENCE:
The conference is organized jointly by the Department of Computer
Science, Brown University and the MIT VLSI and Parallel Systems
Group. The Conference Chair is Charles E. Leiserson (MIT) and the
Local Arrangements Chair is Dan Lopresti (Brown). In order to keep
the conference small and informal, attendance is by invitation only.
If you would like an invitation or further information about the
conference, contact Denise Sergent at the above address or at (617)
253-2046 (phone) or ds@theory.lcs.mit.edu (email).


PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Program committee co-chairs are John Savage (Brown)
and Tom Knight (MIT). The program committee consists of Sandeep Bhatt
(Yale), Gaetano Borriello (U. Washington), Rich Brown (U. Michigan),
Randy Bryant (Carnegie Mellon U.), Srinivas Devadas (MIT), Gershon
Kedem (Duke U.), Monica Lam (Stanford), Jack Raffel (MIT Lincoln
Labs), Sartaj Sahni (U. Florida), Carlo Sequin (U.C. Berkeley), Bob
Sproull (Sun Microsystems) and Jeff Vitter (Brown).
