Conference information of FPT

FPT is the premier conference in the Asia-Pacific region on field-programmable technologies including reconfigurable computing devices and systems containing such components. Field-programmable devices promise the flexibility of software with the performance of hardware. The development and application of field-programmable technology have become important topics of research and development. Field-programmable technology is widely applied, in high-performance computing systems, embedded and low-power control instruments, mobile communications, rapid prototyping and product emulation, among other areas.

Submissions are solicited on new research results and detailed tutorial expositions related to field-programmable technologies, including but not limited to:

• Tools and Design techniques for field-programmable technology including placement, routing, synthesis, verification, debugging, runtime support, technology mapping, partitioning, parallelization, timing optimization, design and run-time environments, high-level synthesis (HLS) compilers, languages and modeling techniques, provably-correct development, intellectual property core-based design, domain-specific development, hardware/software co-design.
• Architectures for field-programmable technology including field-programmable gate arrays, complex programmable logic devices, coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays, field-programmable interconnect, field-programmable analogue arrays, field-programmable arithmetic arrays, memory architectures, interface technologies, low-power techniques, adaptive devices, reconfigurable computing systems, high-performance reconfigurable systems, evolvable hardware and adaptive computing, fault tolerance and avoidance.
• Device technology for field-programmable logic including programmable memories such as non-volatile, dynamic and static memory cells and arrays, interconnect devices, circuits and switches, and emerging VLSI device technologies.
• Applications of field-programmable technology including accelerators for biomedical/scientific/neuro-morphic computing and machine learning, network processors, real-time systems, rapid prototyping, hardware emulation, digital signal processing, interactive multimedia, machine vision, computer graphics, cryptography, robotics, manufacturing systems, embedded applications, evolvable and biologically-inspired hardware.
• Education for field-programmable technology including courses, teaching and training experience, experiment equipment, design and applications.

Note that simply implementing an application using an FPGA is not considered a sufficient research contribution. Application-based papers should emphasize novel design techniques, novel use of embedded resources, or clearly articulated and measured system performance benefits.

Submission guidelines

The program committee solicits papers describing original research in field-programmable technology, including, but not limited to, the areas of interest indicated above. In-depth survey papers are also welcome. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format, following the IEEE style. Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length, while posters should not exceed 4 pages in length.

Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations for double-blined review. Papers that identify authors will NOT be considered. Please use online system for submission.

Call for PhD Forum Papers

PhD students are invited to submit four-page papers to PhD Forum at FPT'18, which is a poster-based session for PhD students to present and discuss their research with people in the community of field-programmable technology. The papers will be reviewed and the accepted PhD Forum papers will be included in the conference proceedings. The presenters must bring their own posters for presentation at the forum. The deadline of the PhD forum paper submission is September 20, 2018.

Please check Call for PhD Forum Papers page in details.

Call for Demonstration Papers

We solicit submissions relating to technical demonstrations to be presented at a Demonstration Session. All demonstration proposals should be written up as 4-page papers that detail the goals of the demonstration along with the theory and implementation of the system being demonstrated, and any related results. The papers will be reviewed and the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings.

Please check Call for Demonstration Papers page in details.

Call for FPGA Design Competition

We call for FPGA Design Competition in conjunction with FPT'18. This year's theme is "Autonomous Vehicle Driving Competition using FPGA." Competition entry due is Sep 15.
