The 21st Reconfigurable Architectures
Workshop (RAW 2014) will be held in Phoenix, USA in May 2014. RAW 2014 is associated with the 28th Annual International
Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2014) and is
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. The workshop 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.
A reconfigurable computing environment is characterized
by the ability of underlying hardware architectures or devices to rapidly alter
(often on the fly) the functionalities of their components and the
interconnection between them to suit the problem at hand. The area has a rich theoretical
tradition and wide practical applicability. There are several commercially
available reconfigurable platforms (FPGAs and coarse-grained devices) and many
modern applications (including embedded systems and HPC) use reconfigurable
subsystems. An appropriate mix of theoretical foundations and practical
considerations, including algorithms architectures, applications, technologies
and tools, is essential to fully exploit the possibilities offered by
reconfigurable computing. The Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop aims to
provide a forum for creative and productive interaction for researchers and
practitioners in the area.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original
unpublished research in all areas of reconfigurable systems, including
architectures, algorithms, applications, software and cross-cutting areas. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
Architectures & Algorithms · Theoretical
Interconnect and Computation Models · Algorithmic
Techniques and Mapping · Run-Time Reconfiguration
Models and Architectures ·
Emerging Technologies (optical models, 3D
Interconnects, devices) ·
Bounds and Complexity Issues ·
Analog Arrays |
Reconfigurable Systems &
Applications · Reconfigurable
accelerators (HPC, Bioinformatics, Multicore environments) · Embedded
systems and Domain-Specific solutions (Digital Media, Gaming, Automotive
applications) · Distributed
Systems & Networks · Wireless
and Mobile Systems · Emerging applications (Organic
Computing, Biology-Inspired
Solutions) · Critical issues (Security,
Energy efficiency, Fault-Tolerance) |
Software & Tools ·
High-Level Design Methods (Hardware/Software
co-design, Compilers) ·
System Support (Soft processor programming) ·
Runtime Support ·
Reconfiguration Techniques (reusable artifacts) ·
Simulations and Prototyping (performance analysis,
verification tools) |
Submission Guidelines:
All
manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript or, in special cases,
may be a summary of relevant work. The manuscript should be not exceed 8 single-spaced, double-column pages using
10-point size font on 8.5X11 inch pages (IEEE conference style) including references, figures and
tables. Papers are to be submitted through EasyChair. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under consideration
for a different workshop, conference or journal. It is also expected that all
accepted papers (regular or poster) will be presented at the workshop by one of
the authors.
Publication: 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 IEEE CS Press as a CD-ROM
disk and be available in the IEEE Digital Library. Authors of selected "best
papers" of RAW 2014 will be invited to submit extended versions of their
work to the ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology
and Systems (TRETS).
