FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
FPL is the first and largest conference covering the rapidly growing area of field programmable logic. During the past 14 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. The 15th FPL will be hosted by the Institute of Digital and Computer Systems of Tampere University of Technology, Finland.
CONFERENCE TOPICS The Program Committee invites you to participate and submit your contribution to FPL 2005. The conference topics within the scope of field programmable logic include, but are not limited to:
RECONFIGURABLE ARCHITECTURES o Dynamic and run-time reconfiguration o Low power architectures o Defect and fault tolerance o Reconfigurable embedded systems o Field-programmable analogue arrays o Interconnects and NoCs
APPLICATIONS o Communications/networking/cryptography o Bioinformatics o Application acceleration o Evolvable and bio-inspired applications o Rapid prototyping
DESIGN METHODS AND TOOLS o CAD for reconfigurable architectures o Optimisation and technology mapping o System-level design methods o Testing, verification and benchmarking o Hardware/software co-design o Compilers and languages
SURVEYS, TRENDS AND EDUCATION o Roadmap of reconfigurable computing o Teaching reconfigurable systems o History and surveys of reconfigurable logic o Emerging device technologies o Tutorials
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions as:
. 10 page papers to be considered as regular papers or posters . 2 page extended abstracts for PhD forum contributions and tutorial proposals
All contributions must be submitted electronically in PDF format using Springer LNCS Instructions for Authors. The conference proceedings will be published and distributed at the time of the conference in the LNCS series and on CD-ROM. After the conference, the proceedings will be published in the SpringerLink online collection. For detailed formatting and submission information, please visit FPL 2005 conference website at
