FPGA 2006: Call for Papers
Fourteenth ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
Hyatt Regency Hotel Monterey, California February 22-24, 2006
----------------------------------------------------------------
The ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays is the premier conference for presentation of advances in all areas related to FPGA technology. For FPGA 2006, we are soliciting submissions describing novel research and developments in the following (and related) areas of interest:
FPGA Architecture: Novel logic block and routing architectures, combination of FPGA fabric and system blocks (processors, memories, etc.), new commercial architectures, impact of modern and future technologies (including ultra-deep submicron and nanometer scale) on the design of FPGA's (e.g. soft errors, leakage, power density, fabrication defects).
Circuit Design for FPGAs: Novel FPGA circuits and circuit-level techniques.
CAD for FPGAs: Placement, routing, retiming, logic optimization, technology mapping, system-level partitioning, logic generators, testing and verification, CAD for FPGA-based accelerators, CAD for incremental FPGA design and on-line design mapping and optimization.
High-level abstractions, tools, and systems for FPGAs: General-purpose and domain-specific models, languages, tools, and techniques that facilitate the design, development, debugging, verification, and deployment of large-scale and high-performance FPGA-based applications and systems.
FPGA-based and FPGA-like computing engines: Compiled accelerators, reconfigurable computing, adaptive computing devices, systems and software.
Rapid-prototyping: Fast prototyping for system-level design and logic emulation.
Applications: Innovative use of FPGAs, exploitation of FPGA features and architectures, uses of FPGAs to achieve high-performance, low-power, or high-reliability, FPGA-optimized DSP techniques, novel uses of reconfiguration, FPGA-based cores.
Authors are invited to submit English language PDF of their paper (10 pages maximum) and panel proposals by: September 23, 2005. Notification of acceptance will be sent by: November 21, 2004. The authors of accepted papers will be required to submit the final camera-ready copy by December 19, 2004. A proceedings of the accepted papers will be published by ACM, and included in the Annual ACM/SIGDA CD-ROM Compendium publication.
