   Dear Colleagues:   
      
   We would like to invite you to submit a paper to EvoHOT 2009, the 5th   
   European Workshop on Hardware Optimization Techniques.   
      
   EvoHOT focuses on innovative heuristics, game theory and bio-inspired   
   techniques (eg. EA, SA, AIS, NN, ants) applied to the Electronic   
   Design Automation.   
      
   The workshop goal is to show the latest developments; industrial   
   experiences; successful attempts to /evolve/ rather than /design/ new   
   solutions; hybridizations of traditional methodologies.   
      
   EvoHOT topics include, but are not limited to:   
     * Analog circuit design   
     * Automatic test pattern generation   
     * Built-in self test   
     * Evolutionary design of electronic circuits   
     * Evolutionary hardware design methodologies   
     * Evolutionary robotics   
     * Evolvable hardware   
     * Floorplanning   
     * Hardware/Software co-design   
     * Hybrid evolutionary/exact approach   
     * Hardware accelerated methodologies   
     * Logic synthesis   
     * Routing   
     * Test program generation   
      
   Submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines and   
   must not be longer than 10 pages.   
      
   EvoHOT is part of EvoStar (Evo*), Europe premier event in the field of   
   evolutionary computing. EvoStar incorporates 3 conferences and 12   
   workshops; its proceedings are published by Springer in the LNCS   
   series. The 2009 event will take place in Tubingen (Germany) on April   
   15-17 2009.   
      
   Important dates common to all events:   
   * Submission deadline: 5 November 2008   
   * Notification to authors: 9 January 2009   
   * Camera-ready deadline: 21 January 2009   
      
   The website http://evostar.na.icar.cnr.it/index.html offers updated   
   information about EvoHOT and all other EvoStar events, including call   
   for   
   papers, organising committees and detailed submission requirements.   
      
   Thanks for your patience and interest
