Résumé :
The present proceedings comprise the contributions of scientists, most of them from the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Siemens AG, Research & Development Department, to a joint meeting on Iadvanced topics of information processing/I. The symposium was initiated by Prof. Dr. I. Mizin, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Dr. H. Schwärtzel, Vice President of the Siemens AG and Head of the Applied Computer Sciences & Software Department. The joint symposium - held in Moscow in June 1990 - provided a platform for exchanging results and discussing most recent advances in the field of IInformation /I IProcessing and Software/I and of ISystems Design Automation/I. The proceedings give an overview of research activities and an insight to highlight topics of both participating groups. The symposium dedicated to IInformation Processing and /I ISoftware/I covered a broad range of different aspects with a focus on AI, CASE, and Human Interfaces. Special topics included Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Image and Speech Processing, and Multi Media Dialogue Techniques. The second symposium covered concepts, approaches, and implementation aspects as well as future trends concerning ISystems Design Automation/I especially for VLSI circuits. Major topics were Hardware Synthesis and Hardware Specification, Physical Design, Testing Aspects and Simulation, Framework, and Cellular Automata.
