Special Issue on FPGA-based Reconfigurable Computing

Call for Papers

 

Overview

Recent advances in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) make reconfigurable computing possible that the boundary between hardware and software is blurred. Some of the computation extensive code can be shifted directly to hardware either through on-line and off-line mapping. Performance will be greatly enhanced especially in systems such as scientific computing, multimedia applications, computer security, etc. 

The purpose of this special issue is to provide a unique scientific opportunity for researchers, engineers, vendors, and designers to report recent advances in this important area of reconfigurable computing and applications using FPGAs.

Topics include, but not limited to, the following:

 

FPGA Technologies

  • FPGA architectures
  • New algorithms for space reduction
  • Placement and routing techniques
  • Partial Reconfiguration
  • Reconfigurable computing
  • Evolvable Hardware

High Performance Computing using FPGAs

  • Scientific computing
  • Image processing
  • Software testing and debugging
  • Just-in-time compilation
  • System-on-chip Solutions
  • Power-aware design
  • Arithmetic computation
  • Tools
  • Networking
  • Security

Important Dates

  • Paper submission deadline: Sep. 15, 2005 Sep. 22, 2005
  • Notification of the first review: Oct. 30, 2005. Nov. 30, 2005
  • Revisions due:  Nov. 30, 2005. Dec. 30, 2005
  • Final notice of acceptance: Dec. 15, 2005. Jan. 15, 2006
  • Final version manuscripts due: Jan. 15, 2006. Feb. 15, 2006
  • Special issue to appear: Early 2007.
Submissions will be evaluated on Novelty, Generality, Significance, Clarity and Support criteria. We invite the submission of full length original papers to this special issue that will details the state-of-the-art technology and trends in FPGAs and reconfigurable computing. Papers should not be published before and should not be considered elsewhere currently.
