Thursday, June 13, 2002, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Room: 287 SESSION 55    Behavioral Synthesis    Chair: Petru Eles - Linkoeping Univ., Linkoeping, SWE    Organizers: Ahmed A Jerraya, Krzysztof Kuchcinski    Behavioral synthesis has been around for a long time but it is only now that it is adressing issues that will make it directly useful for designers. The first paper bridges the gap between behavioural synthesis and processor design using innovative synthesis techniques. The second paper leverages on engineering change paradigms to develop more flexible design flow. The last paper proposes a generic scheme for applying engineering changes to an arbitrary behavioural synthesis problem.      55.1 Coordinated Transformations for High-Level Synthesis of High Performance Microprocessor Blocks    Speaker(s): Sumit Gupta - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA    Author(s): Sumit Gupta - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA Timothy Kam - Intel Corp., Hillsboro, OR Michael Kishinevsky - Intel Corp., Hillsboro, OR Shai Rotem - Intel Corp., Haifa, Israel Nick Savoiu - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA Nikil Dutt - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA Rajesh Gupta - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA Alex Nicolau - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA      55.2 Forward-Looking Objective Functions: Concepts And Applications In High Level Synthesis    Speaker(s): Jennifer L.
