CALL FOR PAPERS

ICFPT is an established and fast growing conference on
field-programmable technologies including complex programmable logic
devices and systems containing such components. Field-programmable
devices combine the flexibility of software with the performance of
hardware. The development and applications of field-programmable
technology have become an important topic of research and
development. Field-programmable systems have a wide variety of
applications, such as high-performance computing systems, embedded
and low-power control instruments, mobile communications, rapid
prototyping and product emulation.
Submissions are solicited on topics related to field-programmable
technologies, including but not limited to:

*Applications of field-programmable technology including biomedical
and scientific computation accelerators, network processors,
real-time systems, rapid prototyping, hardware emulation, digital
signal processing, interactive multimedia, machine vision, computer
graphics, cryptography, robotics, manufacturing systems, embedded
applications, evolvable and biologically-inspired hardware.
*Tools and Design techniques for field-programmable technology
including placement, routing, synthesis, verification, debugging,
run-time support, technology mapping, partitioning, parallelization,
timing optimization, design and run-time environments, languages and
modeling techniques, provably-correct development, intellectual
property core based design, domain-specific development,
hardware/software co-design.

*Architectures for field-programmable technology including field
programmable gate arrays, complex programmable logic devices, field
programmable interconnect, field programmable analogue arrays, field
programmable arithmetic arrays, memory architectures, interface
technologies, low-power techniques, adaptive devices, reconfigurable
computing systems, high-performance reconfigurable systems, evolvable
hardware and adaptive computing, and fault tolerance and avoidance.

*Device technology for field-programmable logic including
programmable memories such as non-volatile, dynamic and static memory
cells and arrays, interconnect devices, circuits and switches, and
emerging VLSI device technologies.

Submission Guidelines

The program committee solicits papers describing original research in
field-programmable technology, including, but not limited to, the
areas of interest indicated above. Papers should be submitted
electronically in PDF format, following the IEEE style. Full papers
should not exceed 8 pages in length, while posters should not exceed
4 pages in length. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their
affiliations. Papers that identify authors will NOT be considered.
