 The Second International Symposium on Advanced Research in Asynchronous
Circuits and Systems is being organized as a forum for disseminating
advanced research results on asynchronous circuit and system design.
  A major goal of this symposium is to articulate emerging focal areass,
and thereby foster research growth.  Special emphasis will
be given to industrial applications and mature CAD tools. To this end,
papers are being sought on all aspects of asynchronous circuit and system
design, as well as in the following focal areas (in no specific order of
priority):
  
 --- Industrial Applications of Asynchronous Design
 --- Hybrid Synchro-Asynchronous Systems
 --- CAD Tools for Asynchronous Design
 --- Testing/Design-for-Testability of Asynchronous Circuits
 --- Noise Immunity in Asynchronous Digital Circuits
 --- Low-Power Techniques
 --- High Performance Asynchronous Circuits
 --- Hazard-Free Logic Synthesis and Optimization
 --- Design of Asynchronous State Machines
 --- Metastability and Related Issues
 --- Formal Methods for Asynchronous Design
 --- Petri-Nets, Trace Theory and Related Formalisms
 --- High-Level Synthesis of Asynchronous Circuits and Systems
 --- Asynchronous Design in Commercial HDL Environment
 --- Verification of Asynchronous Circuits and Systems
 --- Asynchronous Datapath and Processor Design
 --- Practical Design Examples
 --- Future Trends (Optical Computing, Neural Networks, Nanotechnology, etc.)
