The Nato Advanced Study Institute on "Computer Design Aids for VLSI
Circuits" was held from July 21 to August 1, 1980 at Sogesta,
Urbino, Italy. Sixty-three carefully chosen profes sionals were
invited to participate in this institute together with 12 lecturers
and 7 assistants. The 63 participants were selected from a group of
almost 140 applicants. Each had the background to learn effectively
the set of computer IC design aids which were presented. Each also
had individual expertise in at least one of the topics of the
Institute. The Institute was designed to provide hands-on type of
experience rather than consisting of solely lecture and discussion.
Each morning, detailed presentations were made concerning the
critical algorithms that are used in the various types of computer
IC design aids. Each afternoon a lengthy period was used to provide
the participants with direct access to the computer programs. In
addition to using the programs, the individual could, if his
expertise was sufficient, make modifications of and extensions to
the programs, or establish limitations of these present aids. The
interest in this hands-on activity was very high and many
participants worked with the programs every free hour. The editors
would like to thank the Direction of SOGESTA for the excellent
facilities, ~1r. R. Riccioni of the SOGESTA Computer Center and Mr.
11. Vanzi of the University of Genova for enabling all the programs
to run smoothly on the set date. P.Antognetti D.O.Pederson Urbino,
