Call for Paper Conference

Call for papers

ARC aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners of reconfigurable computing with an emphasis on practical applications of this promising technology. This year's symposium will have a series of international invited speakers that will express their view on a wide variety of topics related to applied reconfigurable computing, including but not limited to:

• Methods and Tools (High-Level Compilers, Simulation, Estimation, Design space exploration, Languages to program reconfigurable systems, etc.)
• Architectures (Fine-grained, coarse-grained, and mixed-grained, Multi-processor-based reconfigurable platforms, Microprocessors with tightly-coupled reconfigurable hardware, etc.)
• Applications (High-Performance Systems, use of reconfigurable computing in embedded systems, robotics, digital signal processing, etc.)
• Teaching reconfigurable computing
• Surveys and Future Trends
• Benchmarks (papers presenting benchmarks publicly available to be used by the reconfigurable computing community are especially welcome)
