Message from the General Chair


Dear IWLS contributors, attendees and enthusiasts,

Due to the current situation, IWLS is also going to embark into the virtual experience. It is the main focus of the organizing committee to provide a way to exchange new ideas and promote logic synthesis in the most engaging way, while accounting for the challenges of having colleagues all over the world. The modalities of the virtual transition will be communicated in due time.IWLS has always been an exemplary workshop for early scientific dissemination and exchange. As such, we would welcome any advices and recommendations that our community might have to make the first virtual IWLS a successful event.

Please feel free to reach out directly to the general chair, Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon (pierre-emmanuel.gaillardon@utah.edu) for any ideas.

Best wishes,
Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon, on behalf of the IWLS 2020 organizing committee

IWLS 2020 Programming Contest: Machine Learning + Logic Synthesis


In 2020, the IWLS organizing committee set up a programming contest. To participate, please follow these steps:
  1. Read the contest description and download the benchmark
  2. Write a computer program to learn an unknown boolean function from a training set consisting of input-output pairs.
  3. Test your solution using the provided validation set. Notice that we will evaluate your function not on the validation set, but on a private test set.
  4. Submit both the program used to generate AIGs given the training data as well as the actual AIG files for each benchmark no later than June 12, 2020 June 26, 2020.
Submission instructions:
  1. Please submit your solution to iwls.contest.2020@gmail.com no later than the contest deadline.
