About ISSS
==========

The International Symposium on System Synthesis (ISSS) is a major
international forum presenting emerging techniques for the system-level
design and synthesis of computing systems. Having begun as the
International Workshop on High-Level Synthesis in the mid-80's, it
attracts leading design automation professionals from around the world.

ISSS 2000 is the 13th in this very successful series of symposia. In
addition to regular presentations, the Symposium will include invited
talks by leading industrial and academic experts. To encourage
discussion among the Symposium participants, each technical session will
consist of oral presentations followed by a poster session where the
authors of presented papers will answer any further questions and
provide additional details of their works. Proceedings of the Symposium
will be published.

                   *** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

Workshop on Asynchronous Interfaces: Tools, techniques, and implementations
                        (AINT'2000)
                      July 19-20, 2000
                   Delft, The Netherlands

Supported by: 
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, 
IEEE Circuits and Systems Benelux Chapter & 
United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland Circuits and Systems Chapter


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
--------------------

There is increasing interest in the problem of communication between 
digital systems which are asynchronous, or do not share a common clock. 
Implementations of systems on sub-micron integrated circuits are likely 
to have this characteristic, since it is becoming difficult to distribute 
a single clock over the entire chip with an acceptable skew.

In systems where the distribution of a single clock is either impossible, 
such as a ground-based missile control system with some processors 
in the missile and some processors on the ground, or impractical, 
as, for example, in a one billion transistor chip, data must be exchanged 
between one or more independently timed subsystems. This can lead to problems 
of data coherence, throughput, and timeliness, which must be considered 
in the design of the interface. Design of a reliable asynchronous interface 
requires an understanding of the issues of metastability, which can result 
in data items being incompletely transmitted, and hence becoming incoherent, 
and of asynchronous circuit design, to enable reliable and speed independent 
interface control circuits to be achieved, with an acceptable power dissipation 
and throughput. Both of these topics are circuit design issues, which have 
a considerable impact on the interface design and performance. 
The elimination of the need to distribute a single high-power clock 
or a set of sychronised clocks, can also have beneficial effects in the
reduction of electromagnetic radiation, and so improve the electromagnetic 
compatibility.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
with interests in (but not limited to):

       * High performance interfaces: synchronous and/or asynchronous. 
       * The impact of the new deep submicron technologies (0.18 micron and below)
          on interfacing.
       * Synchronising (sub)systems with very large clock skew. 
       * Distributed clocking.
       * Reliable and robust communication mechanisms and interface control circuits. 
       * Methods and tools for interface modelling and design.

The format will be regular (30 min) and short (15 min) presentations on the problem 
spaces,  industrial experiences, and posters of work in progress, with a number of 
invited speakers from companies and research groups active in this subject area.

The workshop should be of interest to those involved in the design of asynchronous 
and high performance multiply-clocked systems, as well as those involved in 
digital circuit design, and design tools for sub-micron circuits and systems-on-chip.
