Welcome to the website of the fourth International Workshop on Applied Reconfigurable Computing (ARC). Reconfigurable computing technologies offer the promise of substantial performance gains over traditional architectures via the 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.

Submissions are solicited on a wide variety of topics related to applied reconfigurable computing, including but not limited to:

  • Methods and Tools (High-Level Compilers, Simulation, Estimation, Design space exploration, Languages to program reconfigurable systems, etc.)
  • Architectures (Fine-grained, coarse-grained, and mixed-grained, Multi-processor-based reconfigurable platforms, Microprocessors with tightly-coupled reconfigurable hardware, etc.)
  • Applications (High-Performance Systems, use of reconfigurable computing in embedded systems, robotics, digital signal processing, etc.)
  • Teaching reconfigurable computing
  • Surveys and Future Trends
  • Benchmarks (papers presenting benchmarks publicly available to be used by the reconfigurable computing community are especially welcome)

The proceedings will be published as a Springer Verlag LNCS series volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science www.springer.com/lncs).

We are pleased to announce that selected papers will be published on a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Systems and Technology.
