============================================================================================= Dear colleague, Please accept our apologies if you recieve multiple copies of this CFP.
============================================================================================= Preliminary Call for Papers 19th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP) July 2-4, 2008 Leuven, Belgium
=============================================================================================
The conference will cover the theory and practice of application- specific systems, architectures and processors. Areas for application- specific computing ar e many and varied. Some sample application areas include information systems, signal and image processing, multimedia systems, communication, high-speed net works, sensor networks, compression, graphics and cryptography.
Aspects of application-specific computing that are of interest include, but are not limited to:
Application-specific systems: network computing, special-purpose systems, performance evaluation, design languages, compilers, operating systems, nanocomput ing systems and applications, hardware/software integration and rapid prototyping.
Application-specific architectures: special-purpose designs, design methodology, CAD tools, fault tolerance, specifications and interfaces, networks-on-a-ch ip, hardware/software co-design, processor arrays, SoC, superscalar, multithreaded, VLIW and EPIC architectures.
Application-specific processors: digital signal processing, computer arithmetic, reconfigurable/custom computing, implementation methodologies, new technolo gies, fine-grain parallelism, FPGAs, low-power designs and asynchronous hardware.
