THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN Kaushik Roy Computer Systems Group Coordinated Science Laboratory University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The International Conference on Computer Aided Design 1989 (ICCAD-89) was held at the Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, from November 5 to November 9. It was surprising to note the smoothness with which such a large conference was organized. Three sessions ran in parallel in three large rooms with very good audio-visual facility. There were 36 sescions in which 126 papers were presented. The conference had a slIong emphasis on both high-level and logic synthesis and synthesis for testability. The other areas of interest were timing simulation, automatic test pattern generation and logic and fault simulation. I presented my paper in session 9C (Synthesis for testability). It addressed the issue of synthesizing circuits which are robust delay fault testable. The other papers in the session looked at manipulating Boolean functions to maintain multi-fault testability criteria. Session 5C covered Finite state machine synthesis. The first paper in that session considered Boolean minimization and algebraic factofization procedures for fully testable sequential machines. The second paper had interesting ideas about state assignment for initializable synthesis. Session 11B (High performance simulation) was also of considerable interest to me. Paper 1 described hierarchical compiled event-driven logic simulation. Paper 2 considered the theoretical issues of parallel logic simulation, while Paper 3 showed the implementaion of a parallel logic and fault simulator. The exhibition booths from the industries were in Double Tree Hotel rooms. The major companies involved in Design Automation were there to provide information about their latest products and developments. It was a great opportunity and learning experience for me to be at the conference. The panel sessions were very helpful in getting insights into the philosophies of different aspects of Computer-Aided Design. I certainly would like to attend the ICCAD-89.
