About

ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS) is a peer-reviewed and archival journal covering technology, systems, and applications on reconfigurable computers or devices. This journal is published on a quarterly basis.

TRETS has been the vehicle for many seminal papers over the past decade. Reconfigurable technology includes field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other adaptable fabrics, such as coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) and structured ASICs. 

Topics appropriate for TRETS include all levels of reconfigurable system abstractions and technologies, platforms, programming environments, operating systems, design automation, and application successes. Several examples are below:

    Systems architectures
    Compiler flows and computer-aided design algorithms
    Applications (such as those in AI, computational genomics, security, IoT, automobile, aerospace, etc.)
    Underlying technologies
    Related survey or tutorial papers that cover emerging directions, technologies, or applications

In considering whether a paper is suitable for TRETS, the foremost question should be whether reconfigurability has been essential to success. Topics such as architecture, programming languages, compilers and environments, logic and high-level synthesis, physical design algorithms, application acceleration, high performance computing, cloud and edge computing, and IoT systems are all suitable as long as the context is appropriate and reconfigurability is an inherent and essential part of the solution.
