Instructions to PDW-96 Authors:
Enclosed are the instructions you will need for preparing your final
two-column paper for the Proceedings. The recommended length of the
paper is six pages (but a maximum of eight pages will be allowed).
Paper presentations will be 15 minutes long, plus 5 minutes for Q&A
(to a total of 20 minutes each). Presentations should be on

Regular paper authors have the option of also presenting their work on
a poster, should they so desire (in addition to giving their talk).

Instructions to PDW-96 Panelists:
Thank you again for your participation in the invited panel sessions
of the Physical Design Workshop: these sessions are the highlights of
the workshop, and all attendees are looking forward to an energetic
give-and-take.
Following are a few points to remember.
1. Every invited panelist / invited speaker is invited to prepare a
position statement / position paper for inclusion in the workshop
proceedings. The position statement/paper is, simply, a forum for
your vision. Whether you give a response to the guiding questions
posed by the moderator, or a summary of your research group's directions
and goals, or a summary of your views as to key future directions in
the field, or something else -- is entirely up to you. It is the
committee's hope that the position paper will be a more lasting record
that can complement the standard "10 minutes, 5 slides" panel
session talk.
* Note 1: Moderators will be distributing logistics of the panel
session and guiding questions very soon.
* Note 2: The length of your position statement can be anywhere from
1 to 8 pages. It should follow standard IEEE double-column
format; a Latex template is contained in the workshop home page,
