---------------------------


The purpose of this working conference is to bring together people from
Universities and Industry with an interest in the design of asynchronous
digital systems. We are seeking an equal balance between practical
engineering experiences with asynchronous design and the more theoretical
foundations of the subject.

Relevant topics include:

  Applications of asynchronous logic.
  Synthesis methods for asynchronous circuits.
  Tool support for asynchronous design.
  Modelling the behaviour of asynchronous logic.
  Formal verification of asynchronous designs.
  Comparisons of different asynchronous and clocked methodologies.
  Case studies, including performance measurements and other related data.

| Paper Submission |
|                  |
--------------------


You are invited to submit a draft full paper, in English, on a relevant
subject by 1 September 1992.

Six copies of the paper should be sent to the chairman of the technical
programme committee.

The paper should be around 2,000 words in length.

A final camera ready copy of accepted papers will be required by 19 January
1993.

The proceedings of the working conference will be published by North
Holland.

The working conference will be held in the recently opened prestigious
Manchester Conference Centre in the heart of city. The Centre offers first
class conference facilities, accommodation and dining, and is within easy
walking distance of the city which offers a host of pubs, discotheques,
shops, restaurants, cinemas, art galleries and museums. Manchester is a
major cultural and financial centre and is one of the front runners in the
race to host the Olympics for the year 2000. Manchester has a major
international airport and is also easily reached by both road and rail
transport.
