Reconfigurable Computing is a new style of computer architecture enabled by the availability of high density programmable logic chips, or FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). FPGAs are integrated circuits consisting of large arrays of uncommitted logic gates and interconnection wires.
When appliances, sensors, actuators and computers are all networked together, and also networked into the broader Internet, many new systems-level applications are possible, such as the Smart Car, Smart House, Smart Office, and Smart Hospital. All of these applications depend on embedded systems technology in addition to particular domain knowledge.
