Hardware-based systems which can be configured (and
even reconfigured) are increasingly being employed for high performance, low
power applications. This increase can be
attributed to a shift in the traditional market for microelectronic systems
from industrial applications to consumer products including mobile and
automotive applications in which neither microprocessors nor ASICs alone work
well.
Many companies and researchers believe that the answer
will be configurable or adaptive computing platform.
This special section focuses on the different approaches in the engineering of
reconfigurable systems and the implementation of algorithms, including theory,
architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate the
benefits of reconfigurable computing.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Theory - Synthesis, Mapping, Parallelization, Partitioning... 2. Software - CAD, Languages, Compilers, Operating Systems... 3. Hardware - Adaptive and Dynamic Hardware, Reconfigurable Architectures... 4. Applications - Mobile
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality research
contributions that will not require major revisions. Extensions of papers
presented at the
(http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/ERA/mocha06/mocha.htm)
are welcomed, but works not presented at these conferences are also encouraged.
The Guest Editors for the Special Section are as follows:

All manuscripts are subject to standard T-VLSI review.
Prospective authors should submit their manuscripts electronically to the TVLSI
Web site http://tvlsi-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/
and highlight that
the manuscript is being submitted to the special section on “Configurable Computing Design” in the
Notes to EIC section. Please also send an E-mail to Toomas Plaks
<plakst@lsbu.ac.uk> notifying him
of your submission.
Instructions on how to submit a paper can be found at http://tvlsi-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/
and authors can contact Michael Pham at mpham@csee.usf.edu
for further assistance.
