CALL FOR PAPERS ===============

The 2004 International Conference on ENGINEERING OF RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS AND ALGORITHMS --- ERSA'04 ================================================================

a part of The 2004 International MultiConference in Computer Science and ============================================================== Compute Engineering =================== 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.
