THE ARC SYMPOSIUM:

Reconfigurable computing technologies offer the promise of substantial performance gains

over traditional architectures via the customizing, even at runtime, the topology of the

underlying architecture to match the specific needs of a given application.



Contemporary configurable architectures allow for the definition of architectures with

functional and storage units that match in function, bit-width and control structures

the specific needs of a given computation. The flexibility enabled by reconfiguration is

also seen as a basic technique for overcoming transient failures in emerging device structures.



ARC aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners of reconfigurable computing

with an emphasis on practical applications of this promising technology.  This year's workshop

will have a series of international invited speakers from industry and academia who will express

their view on the future of reconfigurable technology

(please visit the symposium web site for an update list of the confirmed keynote presentations).





ARC PUBLICATION INFORMATION:



The ARC 2018 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science

(LNCS) series volume, will also be available through the SpringerLink on-line service

(www.springer.com/lncs), and will be indexed by ISI Proceedings and EI-Compendex.

Additionally, Selected papers will be invited to be submitted for consideration in the

following special issues: IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine and Journal of Signal Processing Systems.
