FPT is the premier conference in the Asian region on field-programmable technologies including reconfigurable computing devices and systems containing such components. Field-programmable devices promise the flexibility of software with the performance of hardware. The development and application of field-programmable technology have become important topics of research and development. Field-programmable components are widely applied, such as in high-performance computing systems, embedded and low-power control instruments, mobile communications, rapid prototyping and product emulation.

Submissions are solicited on new research results and detailed tutorial expositions related to field-programmable technologies, including but not limited to:

* Tools and Design techniques for field-programmable technology including placement, routing, synthesis, verification, debugging, run-time support, technology mapping, partitioning, parallelization, timing optimization, design and run-time environments, languages and modelling techniques, provably-correct development, intellectual property core based design, domain-specific development, hardware/software co-design.
* Architectures for field-programmable technology including field programmable gate arrays, complex programmable logic devices, coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays, field programmable interconnect, field programmable analogue arrays, field programmable arithmetic arrays, memory architectures, interface technologies, low-power techniques, adaptive devices, reconfigurable computing systems, high-performance reconfigurable systems, evolvable hardware and adaptive computing, fault tolerance and avoidance.
* Device technology for field-programmable logic including programmable memories such as non-volatile, dynamic and static memory cells and arrays, interconnect devices, circuits and switches, and emerging VLSI device technologies.
* Applications of field-programmable technology including biomedical and scientific computation accelerators, network processors, real-time systems, rapid prototyping, hardware emulation, digital signal processing, interactive multimedia, machine vision, computer graphics, cryptography, robotics, manufacturing systems, embedded applications, evolvable and biologically-inspired hardware.
* Education for field-programmable technology including courses, teaching and training experience, experiment equipment, design and applications

Note that simply implementing an application using an FPGA is not sufficient to count as a research contribution. Applications-based papers should emphasise novel design techniques or clearly articulated and measured system performance benefits.
