The 8th International Workshop on High Performance and Dynamic Reconfigurable Systems and Networks (DRSN 2018) CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION As part of The 16th International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2018) July 16 – 20, 2018 Orléans, France Paper Submission Deadline: April 22, 2018 - Final Extension Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters Mirror web site: http://tytra.org.uk/drsn/ SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Reconfigurable Systems (RS) and Networks on Chips (NoC) are increasingly finding use in applications that require high-performance computing (HPC), power-efficiency, or both. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are seeing adoption in mainstream for both big-data and big-compute applications. The use of NoCs - as opposed to conventional bus-based communication architectures - is already established in a variety of architectures. While there is considerable maturity in the area of NoC and RS architectures, there is that familiar gap between the capability of such architectures, and the capability of programmers, compilers, and runtime systems to efficiently exploit the performance and efficiency dividends these architectures promise. More specifically, the challenges -- and the corresponding opportunity for innovation -- can be broken down into four broad categories: programming, compilers, run-time infrastructures, and the architectures themselves. Wider adoption, especially of reconfigurable systems, is contingent on a synergetic development and maturity across these areas. Lack of such a synergy has been a major hurdle to RS and specifically FPGAs becoming more mainstream, but there are very strong indicators in the academia and the industry that this is changing. High Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC) is specially getting widespread interest. The International Workshop on High Performance and Dynamic Reconfigurable Systems and Networks (DRSN 2018) is intended to serve as a forum and bring together researchers and engineers in both academia and industry to exchange ideas, share experiences, and report original works about all aspects of reconfigurable systems and NoCs in high-performance and/or power-efficient systems. The challenges to wider adoption of these technologies, arising out of programming environments, compilers, and runtime systems are of special interest to this workshop, along with innovations at the architectural level. The DRNS Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to dynamic reconfigurable systems and networks. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere until it appears in HPCS proceedings, in the case of acceptance, or notified otherwise. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to http://hpcs2018.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers-and-participation/call-for-posters for posters submission details) will also be considered. Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the Workshop paper submission site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=drsn2018. Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission. Conference Policies Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation, language, and references. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2018 conference to present the paper at the Workshop as scheduled. By submitting the paper to the HPCS conference, all authors agree to abide by all HPCS conference paper submission, publication and presentation policies as well as following ethical and professional codes of conduct, including those of the professional co-sponsoring organizations. For more information, please refer to the Authors Info and Registration Info pages. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2018 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE or ACM Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly. SPECIAL ISSUE Plans are underway to have the best papers, in extended version, selected for possible publication in a reputable journal as special issue. Detailed information will soon be announced and will be made available on the conference website. If you have any questions about paper submission or the Workshop, please contact the workshop organizers. IMPORTANT DATES
