FPGA 2002

Call for Papers

Tenth ACM International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays

Monterey, California
February 24-26, 2002

TOPICS:

The annual ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays is the premier conference for presentation of advances in all areas related to FPGA technology. For FPGA 2002, we are soliciting submissions describing novel research and development in the following (and related) areas of interest:

FPGA Architecture:	Combined FPGA fabric with system blocks (memory, processors, etc.), Logic block & routing architectures, I/O structures and circuits, new commercial architectures, Field-Programmable Interconnect Chips and Devices (FPIC/FPID), Field-Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA).
CAD for FPGAs:	Placement, routing, logic optimization, technology mapping, system-level partitioning, logic generators, testing and verification. CAD for FPGA-based accelerators. Evaluation of the sensitivity of design tools used for architecture evaluation (i.e. VPR).
Applications:	Innovative use of FPGAs, exploitation of FPGA features, novel circuits, high-performance and low-power/mission-critical applications, DSP techniques, uses of reconfiguration, FPGA-based cores.
FPGA-based and FPGA-like Computing Engines:	Compiled accelerators, reconfigurable computing, adaptive computing devices, systems and software.
Rapid Prototyping:	Fast prototyping for system level design, Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs), logic emulation.

SUBMISSIONS: 

Authors are invited to submit English-language PDF of their paper (12 pages maximum) by September 28, 2001 via E-mail to fpga2002@xilinx.com. Notification of acceptance will be sent by November 21, 2001. The authors of the accepted papers will be required to submit the final camera-ready copy by December 5, 2001. A proceedings of the accepted papers will be published by ACM, and included in the Annual ACM/SIGDA CD-ROM Compendium publication. Address questions to:
