The article reports on the software maintenance workshop hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California in December 1983. Attendees include people from the Netherlands, Sweden, Thailand, and Japan. The major issues addressed were about the software maintenance technology and how to use it to solve current maintenance problems. Information about several papers discussed during the gathering, and the arguments and suggestions related to the issues, are offered.

Information about several papers discussed at a symposium on field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) synthesis in Monterey, California is presented. A computer-aided design researcher will show that current synthesis tools may produce circuits that are 70 to 500 times larger than the known optimal solutions in synthetic benchmarks. Another speaker will present a paper entitled "Optimality Study of Logic Synthesis for LUT-based FPGA."

Information about the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) 2006 symposium in Monterey, California is presented. The Xilinx paper, presented by researcher Tim Tuan, described a research project in which Xilinx built a low-power architecture based on the company's Spartan 3 fabric. Dynamic power was on average 12 times worse for the Stratix FPGA over the range of benchmarks.
