FPGA 2014 - The 2014 ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays

The ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays is the premier conference for presentation of advances in all areas related to FPGA technology. For FPGA 2014, we are soliciting original submissions describing novel research and developments in the following (and related) areas of interest:
FPGA Architecture: Novel logic block architectures, combination of FPGA fabric and system blocks (DSP, processors, memories, etc.), design of routing fabric, I/O interfaces, new commercial architectures and architectural features.
FPGA Circuit Design: Novel FPGA circuits and circuit-level techniques, impact of process and design technologies, methods for analyzing and improving issues with soft-errors, leakage, static and dynamic power, clocking, power grid, yield, manufacturability, reliability, test; studies on future device technologies (e.g. nano-scale, 3D gate) for FPGAs.
CAD for FPGAs: Placement, routing, re-timing, logic optimization, technology mapping, system-level partitioning, logic generators, testing and verification, CAD for FPGA-based accelerators, CAD for incremental FPGA design and on-line design mapping and optimization, CAD for modeling, analysis and optimization of timing and power.
High-Level Abstractions and Tools for FPGAs: General-purpose and domain-specific models, languages, tools, and techniques to facilitate the design, development, debugging, verification, and deployment of large-scale and high-performance FPGA-based applications and systems - e.g. DSP, compute acceleration, networking or embedded system tools and methodologies.
FPGA-Based and FPGA-like computing engines: Compiled accelerators, reconfigurable computing, adaptive computing devices, systems and software, rapid-prototyping.
Applications and Design Studies: Implementation of novel designs on FPGAs to achieve high-performance, low-power, or high-reliability, making use of the unique flexibility provided by FPGA architectures. Application-domain studies to analyze or improve FPGA architectures and implementations for networking, DSP, embedded, audio/video, automotive, imaging and other relevant areas. Optimization of FPGA-based cores (e.g. arithmetic, DSP, security, embedded processors, memory interfaces, or other functions).
Panel Outlines: Topic proposals for the traditional Monday night Panel Session at FPGA.
