                                        Preliminary Call for Papers
                                  19th IEEE International Conference on
                        Application-specific Systems, Architectures and 
Processors (ASAP)
                                July 2-4, 2008 Leuven, Belgium
                               http://www.asap-conference.org


The conference will cover the theory and practice of 
application-specific systems, architectures and processors. Areas for 
application-specific computing are many and varied. Some sample 
application areas include information systems, signal and image 
processing, multimedia systems, communication, high-speed networks, 
sensor networks, compression, graphics and cryptography.

Aspects of application-specific computing that are of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

Application-specific systems: network computing, special-purpose 
systems, performance evaluation, design languages, compilers, operating 
systems, nanocomputing systems and applications, hardware/software 
integration and rapid prototyping.

Application-specific architectures: special-purpose designs, design 
methodology, CAD tools, fault tolerance, specifications and interfaces, 
networks-on-a-chip, hardware/software co-design, processor arrays, SoC, 
superscalar, multithreaded, VLIW and EPIC architectures.

Application-specific processors: digital signal processing, computer 
arithmetic, reconfigurable/custom computing, implementation 
methodologies, new technologies, fine-grain parallelism, FPGAs, 
low-power designs and asynchronous hardware.


Information for authors:

A PDF of the complete paper should be submitted via the conference web 
site at http://www.asap-conference.org. Papers must be no more than 6 
pages, and should follow the formatting guidelines at 
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf. 
However, the first submission must be anonymous, i.e. the names and 
affiliations of the authors must be omitted.  Submissions which identify 
the authors or affiliations will not be considered. Only original 
research contributions will be considered. Submissions which 
substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published 
elsewhere, or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences or 
workshops that have proceedings, will be instantly rejected. For further 
information about the conference and paper formatting instructions,  
please see the conference web page.
