CONFERENCE REPORTS - Workshop on Logic Synthesis- 89 New Frontiers in Logic Synthesis: A Report on IWLS 89 Sharad Malik University of California, Berkeley This year the International Workshop on Logic Synthesis was held at the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina from May 23-26. One of the primary results of this confluence of research is to clearly identify the research frontiers. Based on the presentations, the panel sessions and the discussions that ensued three areas of current and future significance emerged. These are: p e r f o r m a n c e d r i v e n s y n t h e s i s , s y n t h e s i s for t e s t a b i l i t y and s e q u e n tial s y n t h e s i s . I will be briefly reviewing each of these. When asked to identify as to what they would like logic synthesis to deliver to them, the wish list of nearly all the industrial participants was identical. The desirable synthesis system was one which would first meet the performance constraints,
