This book contains papers first presented at the SecondInternational Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic andApplications (FPL '92), held in Vienna, Austria, inAugust-September 1992. The growing importance of field-programmable devices,especially of field-programmable gate arrays, isdemonstrated by the increased number of papers submitted in1992. Of the 70 papers submitted, 23 were selected for thisbook. The first three papers were invited and discussstrategic issues and give surveys. Three papers deal withnew FPGA architectures and five papers introduce methods andtools. The last twelve papers report applications focusingon rapid prototyping or new FPGA-based computerarchitectures. The invited papersare: "Overview of complex array-basedPLDs" by G. Biehl; "Technologies and utilization of fieldprogrammable gate arrays" by J. Isoaho, A. Nummela, andH. Tenhunen; and "Some considerations on field-programmablegate arrays and their impact on system design" by A. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '94), held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 1994. The growing importance of field-programmable devices is substantiated by the remarkably high number of 116 submissions for FPL '94; from them, the revised versions of 40 full papers and 24 high-quality poster presentations were accepted for inclusion in this volume. Among the topics treated are: testing, layout, synthesis tools, compilation research and CAD, trade-offs and experience, innovations and smart applications, FPGA-based computer architectures, high-level design, prototyping and ASIC emulators, commercial devices, new tools, CCMs and HW/SW co-design, modelers, educational experience, and novel architectures.

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 8th International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logics and Applications, FPL '98, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in August/September 1998.The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully selected for inclusion in the book from a total of 86 submissions. Also included are 30 refereed high-quality posters. The papers are organized in topical sections on design methods, general aspects, prototyping and simulation, development methods, accelerators, system architectures, hardware/software codesign, system development, algorithms on FPGAs, and applications.
