                               CMC WORKSHOP '92

             10TH ANNIVERSARY VLSI WORKSHOP AT QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY

                                     TEXPO

On Thursday, June 18,  1992,  during  Part  II of the Workshop, a "Texpo" will
take  place.  The technology  exposition  will  include  poster  presentations
(using a poster board area approximately  1.0m  by  1.5m for diagrams or other
printed materials), and demonstrations of chips and  CAD  in  action.   If you
wish to take part in this session, please complete the attached proposal form,
and send it to CMC.  The proposal form  is  also  available  on  the CMC.USERS
bulletin  board  accessible  using  AIM.    Demonstration  space and equipment
resources  are   limited;    therefore,  CMC  reserves  the  right  to  reject
applications.


CSDA AND CMC AWARDS

As with last  year,  the  exposition  will  include  a  competition component.
Qualifying participants may compete  for  two  awards;    one sponsored by the
Canadian Semiconductor Design Association (CSDA) and the other by the CMC.

     CSDA Award
     The CSDA award will grant  $3,000  to be used to further the education of
     the winner in the communications area  (by  being  applied to the cost of
     either attending a conference or workshop or  visiting  a  laboratory  or
     other technical facility).  The award is open  to  graduate  students  or
     faculty demonstrating a communications chip.

     CMC Award
     The  CMC  International  Travel Award is restricted to graduate  students
     demonstrating  a  chip  or  CAD  tool.   Projects based on  CMC  contract
     deliverables are not eligible.  The winner of the CMC competition will be
     sent to the European Design Automation Conference in Hamburg, Germany.

Qualifying  demonstrations  may  be entered for both competitions but may only
win one.    The  CSDA  award  will  be  given precedence.  Participants can be
involved in more  than  one demonstration.  If you wish to enter either of the
competitions, please check the appropriate box(es) on the proposal form.


Subsidy Arrangements

CMC will  provide  reimbursement  of  expenses  for  one  presenter  for  each
demonstration to attend all of Part II of the workshop.
