本提案请求资金允许伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校计算机科学系C. L. Liu博士与印度尼西亚大学计算机科学系Bobby Nazief博士进行为期24个月的研究。超大规模集成电路（VLSI）计算机辅助设计领域的一个研究项目。在物理设计领域，合作伙伴将对引入新技术所产生的位置和路线问题进行研究，例如，现场可编程门阵列、多芯片模块和快速定制逻辑。他们还将合作研究VLSI电路高级合成领域的数据流图合成的转换方法。该研究问题在计算机科学中非常重要，并且有可能对美国的半导体产业和印度尼西亚正在发展的半导体产业产生有利的影响。这项研究可以帮助解决当今的一些设计问题，并为未来产生新的设计工具。刘博士是一位在国际上享有盛誉的高级研究员。Nazief博士是印尼大学新成立的跨大学计算机科学中心的一名年轻研究员。该项目与“发展中国家科学项目”的目标相关，该项目旨在通过科学交流提高美国科学家和工程师与发展中国家同行之间的合作水平信息、想法、技能和技术，并通过合作解决互利的问题。该项目在美国国家科学基金（NSF）资助下为PI的研究增加了一个国际合作的维度。MIP -

This proposal requests funds to permit Dr. C. L. Liu, Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to pursue with Dr. Bobby Nazief, Department of Computer Science, University of Indonesia, for a period of 24 months, a program of research in the area of computer aided design of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. In the area of physical design, the collaborators will perform research on place and route problems that arise from the introduction of new technology, for example, field programmable gate arrays, multi-chip modules, and quickly customized logic. They also will collaborate in studying a transformational approach to the data flow graph synthesis in the area of high level synthesis of VLSI circuits. The research problem is of great importance in computer science and has the potential for impacting favorably on the semiconductor industry in the United States and in the developing semiconductor industry in Indonesia. This research could assist in solving some of today's design problems and produce new design tools for the future. Dr. Liu is a senior researcher who has an excellent international reputation. Dr. Nazief is a young researcher at the newly-established Inter- University Center for Computer Science, University of Indonesia. This project is relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. scientists and engineers and their counterparts in developing countries through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. This project adds an international cooperative dimension to the PI's research under NSF Grant No. MIP-
