The 14th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2007) will be held in March 26 - 27, 2007. RAW 2007 is associated with the 21th Annual International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2007) and is sponsored by the IEEE Computers Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. RAW 2007 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.
Run-Time Reconfiguration & 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/multi-grain devices) 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 2007 aims to provide a forum for creative and productive interaction between all these disciplines.
Special Focus: Coarse Grain Reconfiguration
RAW 2007 wants to emphasize the importance of coarse grain reconfiguration,
including architectures, models, applications, algorithms and tools. We
strongly encourage researchers to submit novel results in these areas.
Accepted papers will be presented in special sessions.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished
research in all areas of dynamic and runtime 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
|
Algorithms & Applications
|
Technologies & Tools
|
Authors should submit and register their paper by September 25, 2006 through the web interface at http://raw.itiv.uni-karlsruhe.de (The web interface will be available after September 1, 2006.)
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 alternatively 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"). 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.
