CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
 

The 2005 International Conference on
 
ENGINEERING OF RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS AND ALGORITHMS --- ERSA'05
================================================================
http://www.scism.lsbu.ac.uk/ERA/ersa.html
 
June 27-30, 2005
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
 
NEW Extended Deadline: February 18, 2005
 

Introduction
============
 
The recent years have shown a growing interest in using reconfigurable
computing platform for the design of application-specific computer systems.
 
The reason is that the traditional market of microelectronics is shifting
from industrial to consumer application. The driving forces are mobile
computing industry and automotive industry, where the traditional
approaches, basing on microprocessors and/or ASICs, do not work well.
The new applications demand new technology. Many companies and researchers
believe that the answer will be configurable or adaptive computing platform.
 
This conference focuses on the different approaches in engineering of
reconfigurable systems and implementing of algorithms, including theory,
architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate
the benefits of reconfigurable computing.
 
 
 
** General Topics
=================
 
1. Theory       - Synthesis, Mapping, Parallelization, Partitioning...
2. Software     - CAD, Languages, Compilers, Operating Systems... 
3. Hardware     - Adaptive and Dynamic Hardware, Reconfigurable Architectures...
4. Applications - Mobile Computing, Automotive Industry,  Smart Cameras...
