                 CALL FOR PAPERS, TUTORIALS, & WORKSHOPS 

  The IEEE International ASIC Conference and Exhibit  provides a forum
  for examining current issues related to ASIC applications and system
  implementation, design, test, and design automation.  The conference
  offers a  balance of emphasis on  industry standard  techniques  and 
  evolving research topics. Information is exchanged through workshops,
  tutorials,  and paper presentations.  These promote an understanding
  of the current technical challenges and issues of system integration
  using  programmable logic devices, gate arrays, cell based  ICs, and
  full custom ICs in both digital and analog domains.
