                          =========================
   The symposium on Digital Systems Design addresses both architectures
   and  implementations  of  (embedded)  digital  systems  as  well as 
   efficient design methods and tools. It is a discussion forum of the 
   state-of-the-art  research,  development  and  applications  for the
   research  community  working  on  computer  system  architecture,
   microprocessor architecture and design,  logic design,  application
   specific integrated processors, systems on a chip, hardware/software
   codesign,  and design automation.
 
            TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to:
           ====================================================
   *  CPU  and  memory  architectures:  arithmetic  and  logic  units, 
      co-processors, pipelining, superscalarity, cache, MMU.
   *  Special architectures: DSP, ASIPs, graphic and image processors,
      custom  computing  machines,  processing  arrays  and  FPGAs, 
      reconfigurable structures.
   *  Specification  and  modeling:  (hardware/software)  system 
      specification and modeling, system and hardware description 
      languages, component modeling.
   *  Validation: simulation,  emulation,  prototyping and testing at 
      the system,  RT and logic level,  multilevel- and co-simulation, 
      formal verification.
   *  Synthesis: system on chip design; system,  hardware-software,
      high-level, RT-level and logic synthesis, intellectual property 
      and design reuse; synthesis for low-power, speed and testability;
      system, hardware/software and logic partitioning.
                            SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
                           ======================
   Prospective authors are encouraged to submit by Internet or e-mail a
   PostScript  or  PDF  version  of  their  full  paper to the program 
   chairman.  If electronic submission is not possible, five copies of 
   the full paper should be sent by post.  The paper should not exceed
   4000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words.
   A cover page  should clearly  show  the title of the  paper and the 
   name,  mailing address, e-mail address and fax number of the author 
   to contact as well as the  topic areas of the  submitted paper. In 
   order to conduct a blind  review by peers no  indication of authors 
   of the submitted  paper  should  appear in the rest of the paper, 
   including  bibliographical references (there author names should be 
   substituted by a dash line).
 
   The following signed statement should be included on the title page:
   "Neither this paper nor any version close to it has been or is being 
   offered elsewhere for publication. All necessary clearances have been
   obtained for the publication of this paper.  If accepted,  the paper
   will be made available in Camera-ready forms by June 15th, 2000, and it
   will be personally presented at the EUROMICRO 2000 Conference by the 
   author or one of the co-authors. The presenting author(s) will
   pre-register for EUROMICRO 2000 before the due date of the Camera-ready
   paper."
   
   The  program  committee  will decide for each accepted  paper if it 
   will  be  presented  in a long  (30 min.)  or  short  (15 min.) 
   presentation or as a poster. For long and short presentation papers 
   8 pages will be assigned,  and for poster  papers 4  pages  will be 
   assigned in  the  proceedings.  Papers exceeding  8 pages will be 
   charged  NLG 100  per page  in excess.  The proceedings  will be 
   published by the IEEE Computer Society.
                              IMPORTANT DATES
                             =================
