Call for Papers: FPGA 2019

Twenty-Seventh ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays

Submission Deadline: September 16, 2018 October 1st, 2018

The ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA 2019) is the premier conference for presentation of advances in FPGA technology.  Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and available in the ACM Digital Library.

Types of Submissions Sought

1. Research Papers

As usual, we solicit research papers related to the following areas:

Research submissions may be either:

A paper submitted as either full or short will only be considered in that category.

2. Tutorial Papers on Emerging Applications / Methodologies

The conference will include a Sunday workshop is oriented toward users of FPGAs: be it deep learning implementations, computer security or other emerging topics of interest. For this category, we solicit tutorial papers describing effective design techniques and design flows. The ideal submission will enable beginning researchers to enter the area, current researchers to broaden their scope, and practitioners to gain new and applicable skills.  Tutorial submissions need not present novel research results, but should integrate expert practical and/or research knowledge related to FPGAs for a broader audience. This may include:

Tutorial submissions should be at least 4 and at most 10 pages. Accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings and allocated a presentation time of up to one hour, appropriate to the content.

3. Panel Discussion Proposals

We also solicit proposals for the panel discussion at the conference banquet. The submission should outline the topic, questions to be addressed, and suggested speakers.
 

Submission Process

Submissions of all types should be made in the form of an English language PDF file, on-line at https://www.softconf.com/i/fpga2019. Papers should use the sigconf ACM format template posted at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template/. Submissions must be received by September 16, 2018 at 11:59 PM (in any time zone).

Submissions will be considered for acceptance as full or short regular papers, workshop papers, or posters. Regular submissions related to the workshop topic may be scheduled for presentation during the workshop. Regular or workshop submissions will also be considered for acceptance as a poster. A paper submitted to the short or full paper category will only be considered in that category.

The FPGA Symposium uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered. Exceptions may be allowed, with prior approval of the Program Chair, in cases where the authors' identity is vital to evaluating the paper (e.g., papers presenting updates of infrastructure used by the FPGA community). References to the authors' prior work should be made in the 3rd person, in the same way one would reference work by others. If necessary to maintain anonymity, citations may be shown as "Removed for blind review", but consider that this may impede a thorough review if the removed citation is crucial to understanding the submission.
