This book contains extended and revised versions of the best papers that have been presented during the twelfth edition of the IFIP TC10/WG10.5 International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration, a Global System-on-a-Chip Design & CAD Conference. The 12* edition was held at the Lufthansa Training Center in Seeheim-Jugenheim, south of Darmstadt, Germany (December 1-3, 2003). Previous conferences have taken place in Edinburgh (81), Trondheim (83), Tokyo (85), Vancouver (87), Munich (89), Edinburgh (91), Grenoble (93), Tokyo (95), Gramado (97), Lisbon (99)andMontpellier(01). The purpose of this conference, sponsored by IFIP TC 10 Working Group 10.5, is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and show research results in the field of microelectronics design. The current trend toward increasing chip integration brings about exhilarating new challenges both at the physical and system-design levels: this conference aims to address these exciting new issues. The 2003 edition of VLSI-SoC conserved the traditional structure, which has been successful in previous editions. The quality of submissions (142 papers) made the selection process difficult, but finally 57 papers and 14 posters were accepted for presentation in VLSI-SoC 2003. Submissions came from Austria, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the United States of America. From 57 papers presented at the conference, 18 were selected to have an extended and revised version included in this book.

This book is the proceedings volume of the 12th International Conference on Field-ProgrammableLogicandApplications(FPL)heldonSeptember2-4,2002. The conference was hosted by the Laboratoired'Informatique, de Robotique et de Micro' electronique de Montpellier (LIRMM), France. The FPL conference covered areas like recon?gurable logic and recon?gurable computing, as well as their application in various areas like DSP, communication and cryptography. Its subtitle "Recon?gurable Computing Is Going Mainstream" emphasizes the extensive role recon?gurablelogic has started to play. The annual FPL series is the oldest international conference in the world covering con?gware and all its aspects (also see: http://www.fpl.org). It was foundedin1991atOxfordUniversity(UK)andistwoyearsolderthanitstwo most important competitors, which usually take place in Monterey and Napa. FPLhasbeenheldinOxford(threetimes),Vienna,Prague,Darmstadt,London, Tallinn, Glasgow, Villach, and Belfast. It brings together experts, users, and newcomers from industry and academia in an informal, social, and productive atmosphere that encourages stimulating and pro?table interaction between the participants. Covered topics.The scope of this conference has been substantially - tended over the past years and today also covers evolvable and adaptable s- tems,coarse-grainrecon?gurable(sub)systems,theirsynthesismethods and- plications,andtheirindispensableroleinSystem-on-a-Chip(SoC)development, aswellasrecon?gurablecomputing(RC)asanemergingnewparadigm,thre- ening to shakethe generalfoundations ofcomputer science: computing in space vs. computing in time. The application of ?eld-programmable logic in di?- ent areas has gained increasing importance also, and the number of according submissions has grown.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop of Field-Programmable Logic and Applications, FPL '96, held in Darmstadt, Germany, in September 1996.The 37 revised full papers presented in the book are selected from 82 submissions originating from 27 countries; also included are 13 high-quality poster presentations. The book is divided into topical sections on high-level design, new software and hardware development tools, custom computers, applications, hardware/software co-design, AISC emulators, vendor session, industrial applications and experiences, reconfiguration aspects, CAD user experiences, and miscellaneous.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Field Programmable Logic and Applications, FPL '97, held in London, UK, in September 1997. The 51 revised full papers in the volume were carefully selected from a large number of high-quality papers. The book is divided into sections on devices and architectures, devices and systems, reconfiguration, design tools, custom computing and codesign, signal processing, image and video processing, sensors and graphics, color and robotics, and applications.
