for Papers: FPGA 2018
Twenty-Sixth ACM/SIGDA International
Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
http://www.isfpga.org
February 25-27, 2018
Monterey
Marriott Hotel, Monterey, California 93940, USA
Submission Deadline: September 17, 2017 September 24, 2017
The
ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA 2018)
is the premier conference for presentation of advances in FPGA technology.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and
available in the ACM Digital Library.
Types of Submissions Sought
1. Research Papers
As
usual, we solicit research papers related to the following areas:
Research
submissions may be either:
A
paper submitted as either full or short will only be considered in that
category.
2. Tutorial Papers on Emerging Applications
/ Methodologies
The
conference will include a Sunday workshop is oriented toward users of FPGAs: be
it deep learning implementations, computer security or other emerging topics
of interest. For this category, we solicit tutorial papers describing effective
design techniques and design flows. The ideal submission will enable beginning
researchers to enter the area, current researchers to broaden their scope, and
practitioners to gain new and applicable skills. Tutorial submissions
need not present novel research results, but should integrate expert practical
and/or research knowledge related to FPGAs for a broader audience. This may
include:
Tutorial
submissions should be at least 4 and at most 10 pages. Accepted submissions
will be published in the proceedings and allocated a presentation time of up to
one hour, appropriate to the content.
3. Panel Discussion Proposals
We
also solicit proposals for the panel discussion at the conference banquet. The
submission should outline the topic, questions to be addressed, and suggested
speakers.
Submission Process
Submissions
of all types should be made in the form of an English language PDF file,
on-line at https://www.softconf.com/i/fpga2018. Papers should use
the sigconf ACM format template posted at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template/. Submissions must be
received by September 17, 2017 September 24, 2017 at 11:59 PM (in any time zone).
Submissions will be considered for acceptance as full or short regular papers, workshop papers, or posters. Regular submissions related to the workshop topic may be scheduled for presentation during the workshop. Regular or workshop submissions will also be considered for acceptance as a poster. A paper submitted to the short or full paper category will only be considered in that category.
The
FPGA Symposium uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not
identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered.
Exceptions may be allowed, with prior approval of the Program Chair, in cases
where the authorsŐ identity is vital to evaluating the paper (e.g., papers
presenting updates of infrastructure used by the FPGA community). References to
the authorsŐ prior work should be made in the 3rd person, in the same way one
would reference work by others. If necessary to maintain anonymity, citations
may be shown as "Removed for blind review", but consider that this
may impede a thorough review if the removed citation is crucial to
understanding the submission.
