CALL FOR PAPERS

==================================================================================

The 22nd International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing (ARC 2026)
April 8-10, 2026, Cagliari, Italy (arc2026.org)

==================================================================================

Applied Reconfigurable Computing (ARC) is a cross-cutting field that spans several research and technology domains, offering solutions for systems that require enhanced computational efficiency, reduced latency, or adaptive hardware capability. These domains include artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, digital signal processing, communications, control, hardware security, among others.
The 22nd edition of the symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of reconfigurable computing with an emphasis on practical applications of this technology.

==================================================================================
