                  C A L L   F O R   P A P E R S
      7th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2000)
                    1 May 2000, Cancun, Mexico

                 to be held in conjunction with 
 International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2000)
     14th International Parallel Processing Symposium 
 and 11th Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing 
    (Sponsored by IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing)

The 7th Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop (RAW 2000) will be held at
Cancun, Mexico on 1 May, 2000. RAW 2000 is associated with the Third 
Merged Symposium of the 14th International Parallel Processing Symposium 
and the 11th Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing (IPPS & SPDP). 
RAW 2000 is one of the major meetings for researchers to present
ideas, results, and on-going research on both theoretical and industrial/
practical advances in Reconfigurable Computing.


Main focus of the Workshop:
           Run Time Reconfiguration - Foundations, Algorithms, Tools. 

   Technological advances in the field of fast reconfigurable devices have 
created new possibilities for the implementation and use of complex systems.
Reconfiguration at runtime is one new dimension in computing that blurs the 
barriers between hardware and software components.  Neither the existing 
processor architectures nor the hardware/software design tools which are 
available today can fully exploit the possibilities offered by this new 
computing paradigm. The fast pace of technological development in industry 
is leaving no time to develop the necessary theoretical foundation that 
underpins CAD tools, operating systems, and designs. The potential of run 
time reconfiguration can be achieved through the appropriate combination of 
knowledge about foundations of dynamic reconfiguration, the various different 
models of reconfigurable computing, efficient algorithms, and the tools to 
support the design of run time reconfigurable systems and implementation of 
efficient algorithms.  RAW 2000 is planned to provide the interaction between
these diciplines.

Topics of Interest:

   Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished research
in all areas of reconfigurable computing (devices, systems, algorithms, 
software tools, and applications). The topics of interest include, but are

Submission Guidelines

   Authors should submit an electronic version of their work for review to
"schmeck@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de". All manuscripts will be reviewed.
Submissions may be a  summary of the work or a complete manuscript (not to 
exceed 10 pages of single spaced text, including figures and tables). 
Submissions should be in Postscript (level 2) format.  Authors should make 
sure that the submission can be viewed using ghostscript and will print on a 
Postscript printer that uses standard letter size paper (8.5" x 11"). 
Submissions must be received by October 22, 1999.

   The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as part of
their Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, and they will also appear in 
the CD-ROM version of the IPDPS 2000 Proceedings.
