Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing - WRC 2013 -- CALL FOR PAPERS
Berlin, January 21-23, 2013
http://www.cad.polito.it/research/!_EVENTS/WRC_2013

===========================
CALL FOR PAPERS
===========================

The main purpose of this workshop is to encourage the submission of work-in-progress in the topics covered by the call, thus providing quick and valuable feedback. As such we do not provide formal proceedings. We encourage authors of papers who want to immediately timestamp their idea to forward their paper to HiPEAC tech-report, after presentation at our workshop. Moreover, best papers will be selected and forwarded for possible publication in an international ISI IEEE/ACM Transactions journal.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
===========================
Best papers will be selected and forwarded for possible publication on an
IEEE/ACM Transactions. Details will be provided soon.

TOPICS
===========================
The Hot Topic for the 7th edition of WRC is SPACE AND AVIONICS RECONFIGURABLE APPLICATIONS:

-Radiation tolerant FPGA architecture
-Single Event Effects aware Configurable Logic Blocks
-Single Event Upsets mitigation solutions for FPGA
-Dynamic reconfigurable computing for space
-Remote FPGA configuration for space applications
-Fault tolerant reconfigurable systems
-Self-based reconfiguration FPGA for space
-Design tools for SRAM and non-volatile FPGA for space and avionics

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Reconfigurable Architectures:

- Novel architectures (logic blocks, interconnects, I/O)
- Reconfigurable fabrics combined with dedicated system blocks (DSP, processors, memory etc.)
- Memory issues: adaptivity, coherence, latency tolerance,
- Multicore support, resource sharing support,
- Low power reconfigurable architectures,
- Networks on chip tailored for reconfigurable architectures,
- Dynamic and run-time reconfiguration,
- Defect and Fault Tolerance

Reconfigurable Tools and Technologies:

- System level design and HW/SW co-design
- Static and dynamic power efficiency
- Modeling, optimization, technology mapping and design verification
- Design and debug of reconfigurable systems
- Testing, verification and benchmarking
- Dedicated compilers and high-level languages
- Operating system support for reconfigurability
- Impact of reconfigurable hardware on real-time performance

Reconfigurable Applications and Algorithms:

- Adaptive and bio inspired applications
- Domain-specific applications, e.g. multimedia, bioinformatics, cryptography and more
- High-performance, high reliability and/or power efficient application acceleration
- Rapid prototyping
