The 2004 International Conference on

ENGINEERING OF RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS AND ALGORITHMS --- ERSA'04
================================================================
http://www.scism.lsbu.ac.uk/ERA/ersa.html

a part of

The 2004 International MultiConference in Computer Science and

Compute Engineering
===================
http://www.world-academy-of-science.org

June 21--24, 2004
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Introduction
============

The recent years have shown a continuous interest in using reconfigurable
computing platform for the design of application-specific computer systems.
The advances in reconfigurable computing architecture, in algorithm
implementation methods, and in automatic mapping methods of algorithms into
hardware and processor spaces form together a new paradigm of computing and
programming that has often been called `Computing in Space and Time'.

This conference focuses on the different approaches in engineering of
reconfigurable systems and implementing of algorithms, including theory,
architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate
the benefits of reconfigurable computing.
