FCCM'09 Call for Papers
The Seventeenth Annual IEEE Symposium on
Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines
Napa, CA
April 5-7, 2009
Purpose:
The IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines is a forum to present and discuss new research on the use of reconfigurable computing technologies and spatial computing for high performance and/or low energy computation. Submissions are solicited on a wide variety of topics related to custom computing, including but not limited to:
- Architecture of reconfigurable computing devices and systems
- Languages, compilation techniques, tools, and environments for programming and run time support of custom computing machines
- Applications of reconfigurable computing, including the use of reprogrammable logic in scientific computation, mobile communications, medical image processing, data and communication security, network infrastructure and other embedded systems
- Implications and effects of nanotechnology and reconfigurable computing on each other
- Possible forms and system implications of reconfiguration for fault tolerance and avoidance
- Novel use of reconfigurability, including evolvable hardware and adaptive computing
- Spatial computing architectures, languages, compilers, and applications that, like FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware, use many relatively simple components together for massive parallelism
- Comparisons between reconfigurable implementations and custom multiprocessor implementations (such as NVIDIA’s popular CUDA)
- Hybrid architectures that combine one or more of the above with one or more general-purpose or embedded processors
Deadline:
January 16, 2009 January 23, 2009, (titles/abstracts must be uploaded by January 19, 2009)
Submissions:
FCCM has a tradition of presenting both full length papers and high quality posters. This year we will also publish four-page short papers. Authors are invited to submit PDF or PS format full length papers (8 page max) or short papers (4 page max) electronically by January 16, 2009 (see above!) at https://www.softconf.com/s08/fccm09/submit.html. Please indicate whether the submission is a full or short paper. Notification of acceptance will be sent by the beginning of March. Authors are also encouraged to bring demonstrations of their work. Space will be available during the demo event. Further details will be available on the FCCM web site.
Conference Schedule:
There will be a pre-conference workshop the night of April 5th. Paper presentation sessions will be on the 6th and 7th. More details will be posted as they become available.
