These new devices present new challenges for its designers: these devices must be multifunctional, provide high computational performance and be very energy efficient. The traditional microprocessors and digital signal processors can't meet these requirements because of the low computational efficiency: relatively low performance and high power consumption. Also, the computationally efficient designs based on application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can't meet these requirements either, because of their inflexibility for multifunctional use. Thus, the new applications demand a new technology. A new promising approach is a configurable or adaptive computing platform that aims at implementing algorithms in a computational space consisting of a huge number of elementary computing cells. Such space can be configured, or adapted, for solving a given problem. The adaptive computing approach integrates the flexibility of programming conventional computers, with the efficiency of dedicated hardware devices on ASICs. Adaptive computing platform has intensively considered as a new prospective architecture for handheld mobile systems The recent advances in wireless computing systems and research for suitable architectural solutions have emphasized the ideas behind reconfigurable computing: implementing algorithms in configurable computational space. Thus, the mobile computing together with reconfigurable computing has becoming a new trend in hardware designs and is an important area of active scientific research. Topics: ======= The list of topics includes but is not limited by the following: O Reconfigurable computing architectures. O Compiling high-level languages for reconfigurable platform O Run-time configuration and process management O Energy efficient adaptive architectures O Communication system algorithms and protocols O Image and signal processing algorithms O Data compression and security algorithms in mobile systems O Other topics related to wireless communication systems Important Deadlines: ==================== March 31, 2004 Authors contact Minitrack Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content.
