ENGINEERING OF RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS AND ALGORITHMS - ERSA'08

July 14-17, 2008
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

ERSA conference focuses on different approaches in engineering of reconfigurable systems: in hardware design and in implementing of algorithms; including theory, architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate the benefits of reconfigurable computing.

General Topics

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Theory of Massively Parallelel Computing
  • Theoretical models of computing in space and time
  • Theoretical approaches of new computational aspects, including biologically inspired approaches
