SUBMISSIONS

The program committee solicits papers describing original research or high quality tutorial expositions in field-programmable technology including, but not limited to, the areas of interest indicated above. High quality posters are also solicited. Current postgraduate research students are invited to submit a short paper detailing their proposed research to be presented in a poster-based PhD forum.

In addition to the above, the organizers solicit contributions to the following:

Papers must be prepared in PDF format using the template files provided below and submitted electronically. Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length, while posters should not exceed 4 pages in length. PhD forum papers are limited to 2 pages.

Proposals for half and full day tutorials in the areas of interest are also sought. Proposals for workshops or special sessions on particular topics are also invited. Tutorials and workshops are likely to be scheduled for 7 or 8 December, preceding the conference. Proposals for tutorials, workshops and special sessions should be sent to the tutorial and workshops chair.

Conflicts of Interest

FPT uses a blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations. Self-references should be blanked out. Papers that identify authors will NOT be considered.

Because FPT uses a double blind reviewing process, reviewers do not know the authors of papers. In order to avoid reviewers providing reviews for close colleagues (eg those from their same institution), authors should identify reviewers who would have a conflict of interest from the checkbox list on the submission page.

TEMPLATES
