The 2nd International Workshop on
                 Post-Binary ULSI Systems

Date         May 27 13:30-17:20, 1993 
Place        Hyatt Retgency Sacramento 
Chair        Michitaka Kameyama(Tohoku University) 
Sponsorship  Monbusho International Research Program (Joint Research) 

 Toward next generation intelligent integrated systems, multiple-valued	digital 
processing technology becomes more and more important from both theoreteical and 
practical  points of views. Especially, the following subjects will be key targets 
in making pioneering research : 

(1)  In deep submicron integrated circuits, revolutionary architecture is 
     essential because of the heavy load of interconnections. 
(2)  Large-scale design techniques will be essential because of the ultra- 
     high-integration. 
(3)  Fault tolerant design is essential because of many problems due to the 
     ultra-high-integration.

 The goal of the Workshop is to discuss the above subjects, and we will get 
several new ideas and/or hints to continue exciting research works on post-binary 
ULSI systems.
