                     7-9 June , 1995
       OMNI Europa Hotel, Chapel Hill, North Carolina


                         CALL FOR PAPERS
	
         Hardware-Software Codesign and Codevelopment:
             Reducing System Introduction to Market

The IEEE International Workshop on Rapid System Prototyping 
presents and explores the trends in rapid prototyping of Computer 
Based Systems including, but not limited to, communications, 
information, and manufacturing systems. The sixth annual workshop 
will focus on improved approaches to resolving prototyping issues and 
problems raised by incomplete specifications, increased system 
complexity and reduced time to market requirements for a multitude of 
products. The workshop will include a keynote presentation and formal 
paper sessions with a side range of system prototyping topics, which 
include, but are not limited to the following:

o System Emulation	
o Virtual Prototyping	
o Hardware-Software Codesign
o Tools for hardware prototyping
o Tools for software prototyping
o The role of FPGAs in system prototyping
o Prototyping case studies
o Very large scale system engineering
o Hardware/software tradeoffs
o System verification/validation
o Prototype to product transition

The program committee invites authors to submit five copies of an 
extended summary or a full paper (preferred) presenting original and 
unpublished work. Clearly describe the nature of the work, explain its 
significance, highlight its novel features, and state its current status. 
Authors of selected papers will be requested to prepare a manuscript for 
the workshop proceedings.

o Papers due.	  January 15, 1995
o Notification of Acceptance.	  February 15, 1995
o Final Camera Ready Manuscript due    March 15,1995
