That is the title of my keynote address at the FPGA Developers' Forum, Oct 21/22, in London. If you can make the place and the date, it would be nice to meet you there. Below is the official invitation (not in my words, witness the English spelling!). Peter Alfke
"This is your chance to meet some of the world's top field-programmable gate array (FPGA) developers at one of Europe's leading FPGA events, taking place in London on the 21st and 22nd of October 2003. This event is supported by Mentor Graphics and Xilinx.
The IEE has assembled a world class series of speakers from organisations including Xilinx, Celoxica, QinetiQ, NASA, Semico Research and Mentor Graphics to address today's most pressing issues in FPGA specification, applications, design and development.
Day one features world-leading experts sharing their experience in implementing complex systems using FPGA technologies and will address areas such as technology, tools, hardware and software developments.
Day two has leading researchers sharing their experiences of using FPGAs in a range of areas including nanotechnology, software radio, aerospace and image processing."
