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 for a special section of a high quality journal.


SUBMISSION INFORMATION:

Authors are invited to submit original contributions in English including,
but not limited to, the areas of interest mentioned below. Submission must
be uploaded to the ARC website and identify the format of the contribution
as either:

* Long Papers: (12 pages maximum) which should include mainly accomplished
   results (oral presentation)

* Short Papers: (6 pages maximum, or 8 pages max. upon payment of additional
   charge of $100 USD per page) to be composed of work in progress or reporting
   recent developments (poster presentation)

The format of the paper should be according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS Series
(Lecture Notes on Computer Science) format rules as described in
htttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/author.html
