Revised Dates and Deadlines:

Paper Submission:               March 13, 2000
Acceptance notification:     April 20, 2000
Conference:                         July 10-12, 2000

Topics:

The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific computing systems. Of particular interest are contributions that either achieve large performance gains, present formal methods for the specification, design and evaluation, analyze technology dependencies and the integration of hardware and software components, or describe and evaluate fabricated systems.

Areas for application-specific computing systems are many and varied. Some sample areas include information systems, signal and image processing, multimedia systems, high-speed networks, compression, cryptography.

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

• Application-specific architectures: special purpose designs, design methodology, CAD tools, fault tolerance strategies, specification and interfaces, hardware/software codesign.
• Application-specific processors: digital signal processing, computer arithmetic, configurable/custom computing, implementation methodology & rapid prototyping, new technologies, fine-grain parallelism.
• Application-specific systems: network computing, special-purpose systems for exotic applications, performance evaluation, standard software objects, languages, compilers, operating systems, hardware/software integration
The conference will feature a keynote speech, paper presentations, and a poster session. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
