                       CALL FOR PAPERS


          IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON  MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

Starting in January 1993,the IEEE Transcations on Microelectronic
Systems will be published as a new quarterly journal under the
cosponsorship of IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, IEEE Computer
Society, and IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI
technologies require close collaboration among scientists and 
engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit
design, chips and wafers fabrication, packaging, testing and
systems applications. Generation of  specifications, design and 
verification  must be performed  at all abstraction levels, including  
the systems,register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address  this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transctions
on Microelectronic Systems has been founded. The editorial board
consisting of international experts invites original papers which 
emphasize and merit the novel systems integration  aspects  of 
microelectronic  systems including interactions among systems design
and partitioning,logic and memory design, digital and  analog circuit
design,layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication,testing and 
packaging,and systems level qualification. Thus,the coverage of this
new Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems 
integration. Topics of special interest include, but are not strictly 
limited to, the following:

     * Systems Specifications, Design and Partitioning
     * System-Level Test
     * Reliable VLSI/ULSI Systems
     * High Performance Computing and Communication Systems  
     * Wafer Scale Integration and Multichip Modules (MCMs)
     * High-Speed Interconnects in Microelectronic Systems
     * VLSI/ULSI Neural Networks and Their Applications            
     * Mixed Analog/Digital Systems          
     * Cost, Performance Tradeoffs of VLSI/ULSI Systems
     
Prospective authors are requested to submit seven copies  of  the
complete  manuscript  of up to 25 double-spaced typewritten pages,
plus up to 10 pages of figures.  Shorter  papers  of  6  or  less
pages  and up to 3 pages of figures will be considered for publi-
cation  as a Transactions brief paper.  To be  considered for the  
January or April, 1993	 issue,  manuscripts  should be sent by May 1, 
1992 to the Editor-in-Chief:

  Prof. Sung-Mo (Steve) Kang

new Transactions  for  $12  per  year which  will  be published 
quarterly in 1993. Contact IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane,
