23rd Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop
May 23-24, 2016
Chicago, Illinois USA

Website: http://raw.necst.it/

Important Dates:

Camera-Ready papers due: February 26, 2016

The 23rd Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2016) will be held in
Chicago, Illinois USA in May 2016. RAW 2016 is associated with the 30th
IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2016)
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Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished research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, Acceleration
Applications in Finance, Data Mining, Big Data, and Analytics)
· Embedded systems and Domain-Specific solutions (Digital Media, Gaming,
Automotive applications)
· FPGA-based MPSoC and Multicore
· Distributed Systems and Networks
· Wireless and Mobile Systems
· Emerging applications (Organic Computing, Biology-Inspired Solutions)
· Critical issues (Security, Energy efficiency, Fault-Tolerance)

Software & Tools
· Operating Systems and High Level Synthesis
· 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 EDAS. 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 will be available in the
IEEE Digital Library.
