The 19th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW
2012) will be held in Shanghai, China in May 2012. RAW 2012 is
associated with the 26th Annual International Parallel
& Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2012) and is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's 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unpublished research in all areas of reconfigurable systems, including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:

Submission
Guidelines:
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. Click here to submit your paper.
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.
Selected best papers of RAW 2012 will be invited to
submit extended versions to a special issue of the ACM
Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS)
