-
- INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS
- FIRST CANADIAN CONFERENCE ON FPGAS
-
- SCOPE OF CONFERENCE:
-
- The goal of the First Canadian Workshop on FPGAs is to provide a forum for
- discussion on design and applications of field programmable arrays. It is
- hoped that this forum will be conducive to the exchange of ideas between the
- academic and industrial communities.
-
- To facilitate this exchange, opportunity will be given to major industrial
- leaders to pass on their latest developments to their colleagues in both the
- industrial and academic community.
-
- A number of hands-on workshops will be available so that designers will be
- able to form comparisons of today's technologies, devices, and design tools.
-
-
- UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS:
-
- Universities will have the opportunity to show the results of their FPGA
- activities in education as well as research. This can either be in the form
- of poster demonstrations or presentation.
-
- Areas of Interest (Suggested but not limited to)
- 1) Re-use of Hardware
- 2) Dynamical/Partial Reconfiguration
- 3) Architectures and Technology
- 4) Design and Development Tools
- 5) Design Techniques
- 6) Novel Applications
- 7) Industrial Case Studies/Experiences
- 8) Comparisons of PLDs/FPGAs/Gate Arrays
- 9) Analog Field Programmable Arrays (FPA)
- 10) Educational Uses and Experiences
-
-
- SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
