TODAY'S ISSUE:  CANADIAN WORKSHOP ON FIELD-PROGRAMMABLE DEVICES:
                Technology, Training, Tools and Applications
                June 13-16, 1994          Kingston, Ontario

The second Canadian Workshop on Field-Programmable Devices will run from
June 13-16, 1994 in Kingston, Ontario.  A major emphasis is the
introductory training in the use of various tools used to configure
field-programmable devices.

Most attendees are expected to be from university and college faculty, and
small to medium-size industry. We also expect to attract a significant number
of vendors who offer relevant products - field-programmable devices, supporting
hardware such as device programmers, development software and interconnect
technologies.

The preliminary program follows.  If you would like more detailed
