Call for Papers

Extended Deadline : June 14, 2004

CONFERENCE THEME

Field-programmable technologies, including complex programmable logic devices and systems containing such components, have become an important topic of research for universities, government, and industry worldwide. Field-programmable devices combine the flexibility of software with the performance of hardware. Their regular structure facilitates rapid improvement in density, capability and speed. Field-programmable systems have a wide variety of applications, such as accelerating computations in molecular biology and medical imaging, low-power control and data processing for palm-size computers, and emulating novel electronic products before manufacture; even advanced microprocessors from Intel and ARM have benefited from field-programmable hardware emulators.
The areas of interest of this conference include the following:

• Applications of field-programmable technology: biomedical and scientific computation accelerators, 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.
• Design techniques and tools for field-programmable technology: placement, routing, synthesis, verification, technology mapping, partitioning, parallelisation, timing optimization, design and run-time environments, languages and modeling techniques, provably-correct development, intellectual property core based design, domain-specific development, hardware/software co-design.
• Architectures for field-programmable technology: field programmable gate arrays, complex programmable logic devices, field programmable interconnect, field programmable analogue arrays, field programmable arithmetic arrays, memory architectures, interface technologies, low-power techniques, adaptive devices, reconfigurable computing systems, other emerging technologies.
  
• Device technology for field-programmable logic: programmable memories including non-volatile, dynamic and static memory cells and arrays, interconnect devices, circuits and switches, emerging VLSI device technologies.

SUBMISSIONS

The program committee solicits papers describing original research in field-programmable technology, including, but not limited to, the areas of interest indicated above. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format, following the IEEE style (http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length, while posters should not exceed 4 pages in length.

Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations. Papers that identify authors will NOT be considered. Submissions must be made via the conference website: http://www.icfpt.org.

Proposals for half and full day tutorials in the areas of interest are also sought. Initial inquiries should be directed to fpt@icfpt.org.

A limited number of grants will be available to support attendance at the conference.

Questions regarding the FPT conference, including the submission procedure and grants, can be sent to: fpt@icfpt.org
