The Forum on specification and Design Languages committee is pleased  to
announce  the  date and  venue  for FDL'05.  Not  a Conference,  nor  an
Exhibition, this  is a  Workshop for  people using  design languages and
interested in their evolution. It is a venue where advanced  researchers
can  mix  with  design  engineers,  to  better  understand  each  others
perspectives.  But  also  to  meet with  peers  to  learn  about current
advances and deployment techniques.

There are  three thematic  areas over  the four  days, brought  together
around a series of Presentation lead workshops, namely:
    - AMS - Analog, Mixed-Signal and Heterogeneous System Design
    - CSD - C/C++-Based System Design
    - UML - UML-Based System Specification & Design.
In addition, an EDA vendor track and a PSL session will focus on  system
-level  verification.  Finally,  several   plenary  and  panel sessions,
along with numerous fringe meetings, almost all open, will allow you  to
sample the current issues vexing the community.

FDL is  a personal  event, it  inevitably provides  some answers, raises
more questions, and frequently enlightens you about aspects of modelling
that you had never thought  of. With opportunities at lunch,  coffee and
the  social  event itself,  you  will increase  your  range of  valuable
contacts in this area so important to your future.
