SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 2, 2004 ************************************************** * The 12th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop * * * * Denver, Colorado, USA * * April 4 - 5, 2005 * * * * details at http://www.ece.lsu.edu/vaidy/raw05/ * * * ************************************************** The 12th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2005) will be held at the Omni Interlocken Resort, Denver, USA, on April 4 and 5, 2005. RAW 2005 is associated with the 19th Annual International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2005) and is sponsored by the IEEE Computers Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. RAW 2005 is one of the major meetings for researchers to present ideas, results, and on-going research on both theoretical and practical advances in Reconfigurable Computing. Main Focus of the Workshop: Run-Time Reconfiguration and Adaptive Computing: Architectures, Algorithms, Technologies Run-Time and Dynamic Reconfiguration are characterized by the ability of underlying hardware architectures or devices to rapidly alter (on the fly) the functionalities of its components and the interconnection between them to suit the problem. Key to this ability is reconfiguration handling and speed. Though theoretical models and algorithms for them have established reconfiguration as a very powerful computing paradigm, practical considerations make these models difficult to realize. On the other hand, commercially available devices (such as FPGAs and new coarse-grain FPFAs) appear to have more room for exploiting run-time reconfiguration (RTR). An appropriate mix of the theoretical foundations of dynamic reconfiguration, and practical considerations, including architectures, technologies and tools supporting RTR is essential to fully reveal and exploit the possibilities created by this powerful computing paradigm. RAW 2005 aims to provide a forum for creative and productive interaction between all these disciplines. Topics of Interest: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished research in all areas of dynamic and run-time reconfiguration (foundations, algorithms, hardware architectures, devices, systems-on-chip (SoC), technologies, software tools, and applications). The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Models & Architectures Theoretical Interconnect & Computational Models RTR Models and Systems RTR Hardware Architectures Optical Interconnect Models Simulation and Prototyping Bounds and Complexity Issues Algorithms & Applications Algorithmic Techniques Mapping Parallel Algorithms Distributed Systems & Networks Fault Tolerance Issues Wireless and Mobile Systems Automotive Applications Infortainment & Multimedia Biology Inspired Applications Technologies & Tools Configurable Systems-on-Chip Energy Efficiency Issues Devices and Circuits Reconfiguration Techniques High Level Design Methods System support Adaptive Runtime Systems Organic Computing Submission Guidelines: Authors should submit an electronic version of their work and register the paper through our web interface at http://www-raw05.itiv.uni-karlsruhe.de by November 2, 2004. All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript (not to exceed 8 pages of single spaced text, including figures and tables) or, in special cases, may be a summary of relevant work. Submissions should be in pdf-format (preferred), or in Postscript (level 2) format. Authors should make sure that the submission can be viewed using ghostscript and will print on standard letter size paper (8.5" x 11"). The IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. The complete symposium and workshop proceedings will also be published by the IEEE CS Press as a CD-ROM disk.
