ARC 2027: International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing Humboldt University of Berlin Berlin, Germany, March 31-April 2, 2027

The ARC Symposium

Reconfigurable computing technologies offer the promise of substantial performance gains over traditional architectures via customizing, even at runtime, the topology of the underlying architecture to match the specific needs of a given application. Contemporary configurable architectures allow for the definition of architectures with functional and storage units that match in function, bit-width, and control structures the specific needs of a given computation. The flexibility enabled by reconfiguration is also seen as a basic technique for overcoming transient failures in emerging device structures.

ARC aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners of reconfigurable computing with an emphasis on practical applications of this promising technology. ARC 2027 will have a series of international invited speakers who will express their views on the future of reconfigurable technology.

The ARC 2027 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series volume and will also be available through the Springer Link online service (www.springer.com/lncs).

Additionally, selected papers will be invited to be submitted for consideration for a special issue of ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS).
