Scope and Expectations

Submissions are solicited on new research results and detailed tutorial expositions related to field-programmable technologies, including but not limited to:

    Tools and Design Techniques for field-programmable technology including placement, routing, synthesis, verification, debugging, runtime support, technology
    mapping, partitioning, parallelization, timing optimization, design and run-time environments, high-level synthesis (HLS) compilers, languages and modeling techniques,
    provably-correct development, intellectual property core-based design, domain-specific development, hardware/software co-design.
    Architectures for field-programmable technology including field-programmable gate arrays, complex programmable logic devices, coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays,
    field- programmable interconnect, field-programmable analogue arrays, field-programmable arithmetic arrays, memory architectures, interface technologies, low-power
    techniques, adaptive devices, reconfigurable computing systems, high-performance reconfigurable systems, evolvable hardware and adaptive computing, fault tolerance and
    avoidance.
    Device technology for field-programmable logic including programmable memories such as non- volatile, dynamic and static memory cells and arrays, interconnect
    devices, circuits and switches, and emerging VLSI device technologies.
    Applications of field-programmable technology including accelerators for biomedical / scientific / neuro-morphic computing and machine learning, network processors,
    real-time systems, rapid prototyping, hardware emulation, digital signal processing, interactive multimedia, machine vision, computer graphics, cryptography, robotics,
    manufacturing systems, embedded applications, evolvable and biologically-inspired hardware.
    Education for field-programmable technology including courses, teaching and training experience, experiment equipment, design and applications.
    Note that simply implementing an application using an FPGA is not considered a sufficient research contribution. Application-based papers should emphasize novel design
    techniques, novel use of embedded resources, or clearly articulated and measured system performance benefits.
