Call for Papers
Important Dates: Extended Submission Deadline -- March 25, 2007 Acceptance Notification -- May 21, 2007 Conference Dates -- August 27 - 29, 2007
The International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) is the first and largest conference covering the rapidly growing area of field-programmable logic. During the past 16 years, many of the advances achieved in reconfigurable architectures, applications, design methods and tools have been first published in the proceedings of the FPL conference series.
Its objective is to bring together researchers and industry from all over the world for a wide ranging discussion of FPGAs, including, but not limited to: applications, advanced electronic design automation (EDA), novel system architectures, embedded processors, arithmetic, dynamic reconfiguration, etc.
FPL is organised yearly in Europe and attended by top-level scientists and researchers. The 17th FPL continues the tradition of the previous editions and will be hosted by the Computer Engineering of the Delft University of Technology , Netherlands, from 27 to 29 August, 2007.
The Program Committee cordially invites you to participate and submit your contribution to FPL 2007. The conference topics include, but are not limited to:
RECONFIGURABLE ARCHITECTURES
- Dynamic and run-time reconfiguration
- Low power architectures
- Defect and fault tolerance
- Reconfigurable embedded systems
- Field-programmable analogue arrays
- Interconnects and NoCs
APPLICATIONS
- Communications/networking/cryptography
- Bioinformatics
- Application acceleration
- Evolvable and bio-inspired applications
- Rapid prototyping
DESIGN METHODS AND TOOLS
- CAD for reconfigurable architectures
- Optimisation and technology mapping
- System-level design methods
- Testing, verification and benchmarking
- Hardware/software co-design
- Compilers and languages
SURVEYS, TRENDS AND EDUCATION
- Roadmap of reconfigurable computing
- Teaching reconfigurable systems
- History and surveys of reconfigurable logic
- Emerging device technologies
- Tutorials
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions as either 6 page papers to be considered as regular papers (Submissions accepted as posters will have 4 pages) or 2 page extended abstracts for PhD forum contributions and tutorial proposals. The page limit includes tables, figures and references, although up to two additional pages may be purchased for an over-length fee of 200 EUR. All contributions must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the web page linked at
Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE Xplore electronic library, which provides excellent visibility and accessibility to its contents.
