In connection with the annual conference of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (the German association of professional computer scientists), GI, a microprogramming workshop was held October 6 in Berlin. The workshop was organized by the GI interest group for Firmware and Microprogrammed Computer Structures. It was intended to provide, in the professional domain, a forum for the exchange of research experiences and results, and to promote, in the public domain, the knowledge of the current status and future trends in microprogramming and firmware engineering. The initiative taken by the GI interest group was honored by an unexpectedly high attendance of over 100 practitioners.
