Computer Science Laboratory Xerox Corporation Palo Alto Research Center 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, California 94304 XEROX November 2, 1987 MP Associates, Inc. ATT: A. Richard Newton Program Chair 25th DAC 7366 Old Mill Trail, Suite 101 Boulder, Colorado 80301 Dear Dr. Newton: Enclosed are the manuscripts for three papers. One of them, Integrating Schematics and Programs for Design Capture, has been accepted for the Fifth MIT Conference on Advanced Research in VLSI. We would like to see these papers published as a set and have them seen by the larger audience of DAC attendees but we are open to publication individually as they have been written to stand independently. Following is a list of titles and authors. All of the authors are affiliated with Xerox at the address given above. A Structural Representation for VLSI Design, Richard Barth and Bertrand Serlet. Integrating Schematics and Programs for Design Capture, Richard Barth, Bertrand Serlet, and Pradeep Sindhu. PatchWork: Layout from Schematic Annotations, Richard Barth, Louis Monier, and Bertrand Serlet. You may contact me at (415) 494-4819 about any of these papers. All appropriate organizational approvals for the publication of these papers have been obtained. If accepted, the authors will prepare the final manuscripts in time for inclusion in the conference proceedings and will present the paper at the conference. Sincerely, Richard Barth Êù•StyleDef½BeginStyle (Cedar) AttachStyle (letterHead1) "top node of a letter (should be empty)" { block 60 pt .neg bottomLeading } PrintRule (letterHead2) "letterhead address" { block AlternateFontFamily BasicIncrement smaller size 60 pt .neg topLeading 96 pt bottomLeading } StyleRule (logo) "for Xerox logo" { "Logo" family 24 pt size 24 bp topIndent -1.5 in leftIndent 96 pt 20 pt 5 pt topLeadingGlue 48 pt 20 pt 5 pt bottomLeadingGlue 75 pageBreakAfterLastLinePenalty 1.5 in tabStops } PrintRule (logo) "Xerox logo: screen" { "Logo" family 24 pt size 36 bp topIndent 96 pt topLeading 48 pt bottomLeading 75 pt tabStops } ScreenRule (DefaultLineLength) "for print" {5.25 in lineLength} PrintRule (root) "Letter head style" { cedarRoot 2 firstVisibleFolio 2 firstHeaders 1.75 in leftMargin 1.5 in rightMargin } StyleRule EndStyle˜Iletterhead1˜Iletterhead2šœy˜yIlogošœÏp˜Iblock˜yN˜Nšœ˜N˜Nšœ=Ïi6œ˜N˜tNšž+œ$˜ONšž6œ5˜kNšž,œ3˜_N˜?N˜ÿN˜Iraggedš œ ˜Ibody˜—…— Ÿ
