====================================================================================================================================CALLFOR 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...

** Multiconference Keynote Talk from ERSA ========================================Where Intel's Microprocessor Architecture is Going Robert P. Colwell, PhD, Independent Consultant, USA

** ERSA Keynote Talks (Preliminary) ===================1. Enabling Killer Applications of Reconfigurable Systems Prof. Donald Bouldin, Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA
