The advances in reconfigurable computing architecture, in algorithm implementation methods, and in automatic mapping methods of algorithms into hardware and processor spaces form together a new paradigm of computing and programming that has often been called `Computing in Space and Time'. This conference focuses on the different approaches in engineering of reconfigurable systems and implementing of algorithms, including theory, architecture, algorithms, design systems and applications that demonstrate the benefits of reconfigurable computing. ** Multiconference Keynote Talk from ERSA Computer Architecture, the road ahead Prof. Michael Flynn, Stanford Univ., USA ** ERSA Keynote Talks (Preliminary) 1.
