Individual issues will feature peer-reviewed tutorials and articles, reviews of recent publications and a calendar of events. The intended coverage of the journal can be assessed by examining the following (non-exclusive) list of topics:Specification methods and languages; High-level synthesis for VLSI systems; Algorithms implemented in parallel architectures; Logic synthesis and finite automata, testability; Layout design of VLSI circuits; Testing; Formal verification; Integrated CAD systems and silicon compilers; Systems engineering; VLSI architectures; Algorithms; Process-technology; VLSI theories.ature peer-reviewed tutorials and articles, reviews of recent publications and a calendar of events.
