Call for Papers: WRC'2016
10th HiPEAC Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing
January 19, 2016, Prague, Czech Republic
http://www.fe.up.pt/wrc2016

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

The HiPEAC Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing (WRC)
provides a forum for researchers active in domains within
the reconfigurable computing area. Its main focus is on
reconfigurable architectures, tools and algorithms that
facilitate reconfigurable systems and applications tailored
for reconfigurable platforms. The WRC’2016 forum intends to
provide a substantially different event from the well-known
conferences and workshops related to reconfigurable computing,
by focusing on an informal way to discuss challenges, new
ideas, future trends, and work in progress. For the second
time, the Hot Topic of WRC is High Performance Reconfigurable
Computing. We encourage submissions in the following areas:

- High Performance Reconfigurable Computing: languages
  and compilation, tools and design flows, adaptability,
  virtualization, reliability, and communication.

- Reconfigurable Architectures: novel reconfigurable
  fabrics, memory design, low power design, adaptive
  architectures, networks on chip, fault tolerance.

- Reconfigurable Tools and Technologies: system-level
  design, HW/SW co-design, partitioning, mapping,
  modeling, cost and power optimization, dynamic
  reconfiguration, verification, testing, benchmarking.

- Reconfigurable Applications and Algorithms: scientific
  computing, adaptive computing, bio-inspired computing,
  domain-specific computing, multimedia, bioinformatics,
  signal processing, rapid prototyping, low-latency.

- Big Data Architectures: Scalable reconfigurable
  architectures for graph, text, and multimedia data
  mining, machine learning, and deep neural networks.

- System Security: cryptographic hardware architectures,
  security processors, countermeasures against
  side-channel attacks, and secure cloud computing.

Selected papers will be invited for publication in a
special issue of the Springer’s Journal of Signal
Processing Systems (JSPS), dedicated to WRC’2016.
