The10th International Symposium on
Applied Reconfigurable Computing (ARC 2014)
14 - 16 April 2014, Algarve, Portugal

Call for Papers

Reconfigurable computing technologies offer the promise of substantial
performance gains over traditional architectures via 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. ARC 2014 will have a series of international
invited speakers that will express their view on the future of
reconfigurable technology.

The ARC 2014 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as a Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series volume and will also be available
through the Springer Link on-line service (www.springer.com/lncs).

Additionally, selected papers will be invited to be submitted for
consideration for a special section of ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable
Technology and Systems (TRETS).

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 50 EUR per extra 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 format rules as described in
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/author.html
