Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers in IEEE double column format. Submitted papers must be limited to 6 pages plus references (i.e. the references do not count in the 6 pages; and references must not exceed two pages). This is a strict limit, and papers exceeding this limit will be rejected automatically.

Papers accepted as full papers will appear in the proceedings as 6 pages papers plus up to 2 pages of references. Short papers (posters) will have 4 pages plus up to 2 pages of references in the proceedings. Extended abstracts for PhD Forum and Demo Night contributions will appear with 2 pages (strict, including references) in the proceedings. Authors of full papers and short papers (posters) will have the possibility to buy 2 additional pages. The conference proceedings will me made available online during the conference. The conference proceedings will be published with IEEE Xplore.

Authors are required to use the standard IEEE templates in format A4 and not to include page numbers, to ensure compatibility with IEEE Xplore. Templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word 2003 are available directly from IEEE (link). All contributions must be submitted electronically in PDF format. FPL 2019 uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered. Exceptions may be allowed with prior approval of the Programme Chairs, in cases where the authors’ identity is vital to evaluating the paper (e.g., papers presenting updates of infrastructure used by the FPGA community). References to the authors’ prior work should be made in the 3rd person, in the same way one would reference work by others. If necessary to maintain anonymity, citations may be shown as “Removed for blind review”, but consider that this may impede a thorough review if the removed citation is crucial to understanding the submission.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue in ACM TRETS. The PhD forum is intended as a venue for PhD students to present their work in progress and preliminary results in a special poster session to receive feedback from other researchers.

Additionally, FPL 2019 will include two days of workshops and tutorials (Sep. 12 and 13), poster session, and the PhD Forum and Demo Night. Further details will be published soon.
