Dear Colleagues:
I would like to let you know about the Adaptive Hardware and Systems Conference in Istanbul in June of this year. Please find the CFP attached.
This is the first international version of a NASA/DoD conference that was so far held 7 times in the US. This year the sponsor list grew to include the European Space Agency, University of Edinburgh, Bahcesehir University, and Technical Research Council of Turkey. The program committee includes renowned people such as Stanford's John Koza who pioneered the area of genetic programming.
Your participation in this conference with or without a paper will enrich the event. We are looking forward to seeing you in Istanbul where East meets West and are hoping that you will share this information with your colleagues interested in adaptive, reconfigurable, evolvable hardware and related areas.
I wish you all the best in 2006.
Regards,
Dr. H. Fatih Ugurdag Bahcesehir University Electrical and Electronics Engineering Dept. Istanbul, Turkey

Conference Venue AHS'2006 will be held at the Hilton Istanbul , Cumhuriyet Caddesi, Harbiye, Istanbul, Turkey.
Scope The First Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS'2006) will be held June 16-18, 2006, in Istanbul, Turkey, immediately following the IEEE Conference on Communications (June 11-
15). The purpose of this conference is to bring together leading researchers from the adaptive hardware and systems community to exchange experiences and share new ideas in the field. The conference expands the topics addressed by the precursor series of NASA/DoD Conference on Evolvable Hardware held between 1999 and 2005. Adaptation reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes, such as uncertainties and variations during fabrication, faults and degradations, modifications in the operational environment, incidental or intentional interference, different users and preferences, modifications of standards and requirements, trade-offs between performance and resources, etc. Adaptation at hardware levels increases the system capabilities beyond what is possible with software-only solutions, and a large number of adaptation features employing both analog and digital adjustments are becoming increasingly present in the most elementary system components. Algorithms, techniques, and their implementation in hardware are developed over a diverse variety of applications, such as adaptive communications (adapting to changing environment and interferences), reconfigurable systems on a chip and portable wireless devices (adapting to power limitations) or survivable spacecraft (adapting to extreme environments and mission unknowns). This meeting will provide a forum for discussion on the generic techniques of adaptive hardware and systems, with a focus on communications and space applications, with view to its expansion and exploitation in other applications such as consumer, medical, defense and security, etc.Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: Built-in tunable structures and automated tuning Automatic/self-calibration Built-in self-test and self-repair On-chip learning and adaptation Adaptive circuits and configurable IP cores Reconfigurable and morphable hardware Evolvable hardware Design for adaptive systems Adaptive control circuits Adaptive flight hardware Search and optimization algorithms for adaptive hardware Hardware implementations of optimization engines Learning and evolutionary algorithms for adaptive hardware Algorithms for exploring design space of adaptive hardware Adaptive computing and run-time reconfiguration Adaptation with hardware in the loop Embryonic hardware, morphogenesis Adaptive optics Adaptive antennas Adaptive sensing Adaptive interfaces Hardware for adaptive signal processing Adaptive medical and prosthetic devices Adaptive wired and wireless networks Adaptive hardware for autonomous systems Communications applications of adaptive hardware Space applications of adaptive hardware
