ASAP 2018

The 29th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems,
Architectures and Processors 2018 will take place in Milan, Italy. The 2018
edition of the conference is organized by Politecnico di Milano.

The history of the event traces back to the International Workshop on
Systolic Arrays, organized in 1986 in Oxford, UK. It later developed into
the International Conference on Application Specific Array Processors. With
its current title, it was organized for the first time in Chicago, USA in
1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe and North-America. The
conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific
systems, architectures and processors. The 2018 conference will build upon
traditional strengths in areas such as computer arithmetic, cryptography,
compression, signal and image processing, network processing,
reconfigurable computing, application-specific instruction-set processors,
and hardware accelerators.
