ASAP 2008: Preliminary Call for Papers (Belgium, July 08)

                                Preliminary Call for Papers
              19th IEEE International Conference on
Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP)
                    July 2-4, 2008 Leuven, Belgium
                      http://www.asap-conference.org


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


The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-
specific systems, architectures and processors. Areas for application-
specific computing ar e many and varied. Some sample application areas
include information systems, signal and image processing, multimedia
systems, communication, high-speed net works, sensor networks,
compression, graphics and cryptography.


Aspects of application-specific computing that are of interest
include, but are not limited to:


Application-specific systems: network computing, special-purpose
systems, performance evaluation, design languages, compilers,
operating systems, nanocomput ing systems and applications,
hardware/software integration and rapid prototyping.


Application-specific architectures: special-purpose designs, design
methodology, CAD tools, fault tolerance, specifications and
interfaces, networks-on-a-ch ip, hardware/software co-design,
processor arrays, SoC, superscalar, multithreaded, VLIW and EPIC
architectures.


Application-specific processors: digital signal processing, computer
arithmetic, reconfigurable/custom computing, implementation
methodologies, new technolo gies, fine-grain parallelism, FPGAs,
low-power designs and asynchronous hardware.




Information for authors:


A PDF of the complete paper should be submitted via the conference web
site at http://www.asap-conference.org. Papers must be no more than 6
pages, and should follow the formatting guidelines at
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf.
However, the first submission must be anonymous, i .e. the names and
affiliations of the authors must be omitted. Submissions which
identify the authors or affiliations will not be considered. Only
original research contributions will be considered. Submissions which
substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere, or have submitt ed in parallel to any other conferences or
workshops that have proceedings, will be instantly rejected. For
further information about the conference and pap er formatting
instructions, please see the conference web page.
