Dear Colleague,
On behalf of both the EUROMICRO Association and the Organizing 
Committee of the EUROMICRO'99 Conference, I cordially invite you 
to submit papers and attend the 25th Anniversary EUROMICRO 
Conference, taking place in Milan, Italy, September 8th-10th, 1999.
Building on a more than twenty-year lasting successful history 
of the EUROMICRO Association and EUROMICRO Conferences, we have 
introduced a new multiple workshop structure of the Conferences. 
After a great success of the EUROMICRO'98 Conference, we are 
continuing with this multiple workshop structure.
The 25th Anniversary EUROMICRO'99 Conference solicits the 
submission of papers for the following workshops:
· Digital System Design: Architectures Methods and Tools
· Dependable Computing Systems
· Software Process and Product Improvement
· Multimedia and Telecommunication
· Music Technology and Audio Processing
There will be many special events during this Silver Anniversary 
Conference. Two of them of a particular interest are perhaps 
the following:
· "Back to the Future: Microprocessors for the 21st Century" - 
  five keynote speakers from the top microprocessor companies 
  will reveal their plans for future architectures, and
· "Music Technology: Live and Loud" - a number of concerts will 
  be given with use of the recent music technology and a 
  conference CD will be produced.
The EUROMICRO Workshop on Digital System Design: Architectures 
Methods and Tools was the largest and a very successful workshop
of the EUROMICRO'98 Conference. The mission of the Digital 
System Design Workshop is to be the superior-quality discussion 
forum of the state-of-the-art research, development and 
applications for the computer system architecture and design 
automation communities. The Workshop addresses both architectures 
and implementations of (embedded) computer systems as well as 
efficient design methods and tools.
Please, find below the call for papers of the Digital System 
Design Workshop and the http links to the additional up-to-date 
information on the Workshop and EUROMICRO'99 Conference.
I am looking forward to see you at the EUROMICRO'99 Conference,
Lech Jozwiak,
Member of the Board of Directors of the EUROMICRO Association
Program Chair of the EUROMICRO Workshop on Digital System Design

                               CALL FOR PAPERS
The workshop on Digital System Design addresses both architectures and
implementations of (embedded) computer 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 computer system architecture and design
automation communities.
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,
dependable 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 
(http://www.ics.ele.tue.nl/DSD-99) or e-mail (LECH@ics.ele.tue.nl)
PostScript version of their full paper to the program chairman. If electronic
submission is not possible, four 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. The title page should clearly show the name, mailing address, the
e-mail address and the fax number of the author to contact as well as the 
topic areas of the submitted paper.
The following signed statement should be included on the title page: All
necessary clearances have been obtained for the publication of this paper. 
If accepted, the author(s) will prepare the final camera-ready manuscript in
time for inclusion in the proceedings, and will personally present the paper 
at the workshop.
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.
The long and short presentation papers 8 pages will be assigned and the 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
             * Deadline for submission:     February 28, 1999 
             * Notification of acceptance:  April 30, 1999 
             * Deadline for final version:  June 15, 1999 
                       SPECIAL SESSIONS, PANELS AND TUTORIALS
Proposals of special sessions, panels and tutorials are welcome. Please send
suggestions to the program chairman before the paper submission deadline.
