ERSA - NVIDIA AWARDS

At ERSA 2013, two awards will be given

• “ERSA - NVIDIA Best Paper Award”
  for a Full Paper presented at the conference and selected by the ERSA Steering Committee
• “ERSA - NVIDIA Best Young Entrepreneur Award”
  for a Young Entrepreneur selected by the Award Committee

Both awards will be Tesla^TM K20 GPU Accelerators, sponsored by NVIDIA.

NOTE! The selection criteria and procedure are not yet finally fixed for the “Best Young Entrepreneur Award”. If you would like to make proposals, please send these to the ERSA Chair, Toomas P Plaks. Your proposals are welcome!

ERSA & ADN Editorial Message

ERSA 2013 Scope

ERSA conference solicits papers from all aspects of reconfigurable computing. The scope of ERSA covers broad area, from simple applications on programmable logic to complex, intelligent, high-performance, embedded systems implemented as multicore systems and heterogeneous parallel processing systems. All these complex systems involve reconfigurability on software and/or hardware level.

The range of topics covers theory, architecture, algorithms, design systems, and applications that demonstrate the benefits of reconfigurable computing:

• Theory - Synthesis, Mapping, Parallelization, Partitioning...
• Software - CAD Systems and Languages, Compilers, Operating Systems...
• Hardware - Adaptive and Dynamic Hardware, Heterogeneous and Reconfigurable Architectures...
• Applications - HPC, Mobile Computing, Automotive Industry, Space and Military...

ERSA conference explores emerging trends and novel ideas in the area of parallel, reconfigurable, heterogeneous, high-performance computing architecture, design methods and applications. ERSA is promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches including bio-inspired architectures, computational biology, physics etc.

ERSA conference brings together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry. Since 2012, ERSA brings a new emphasis on the commercial and industrial challenges in preparing commercial applications for systems using reconfigurable, heterogeneous technology.

ERSA is a part of WORLDCOMP Congress bringing together more than 2,200 attendees from over 85 countries over the world. Companies, participating at ERSA/WORLDCOMP, get their products and organizations in front of this number of attendees and countries.

All conference proceedings/books are considered for inclusion in major database indexes. The best papers of ERSA have been published as the special issues of top archival journals.

Half and Full Day Seminars

To organize seminars is most expensive, you have to buy out the room for half, or full day. Four hours may cost $8000 or even more. (Note that one regular conference fee is $590 and the presentation time is 20 min. This can serve as a basis for estimating the cost. In addition, conference has invited papers, distinguished papers etc, which require bigger time slot than 20 min.).

Thus, there are two possibilities to organize seminars.

• Organizers are able to pay off the cost of room. This will be in extent to the sponsorship fee, and means that the overall cost may easily extends the $10,000. For some companies this may be reasonable to pay and to have dedicated seminar.
• Organizers advertise the seminar and actively call people to participate in the seminar. In this case, the attendees pay the fee ($590) and cover the cost of seminar room. ERSA conference will also advertise this seminar on his website and in conference communications. In addition, ERSA conference will set up preliminary registration form to see the possible interest and number of attendees. On that basis, we can consider the possibility of particular seminar. Sufficient number of attendees should register and pay the fee before mid of May (after this, the WorldComp starts to allocate rooms for particular conferences). Thus, you should have around 15 attendees of your seminar to be successful.

Paper must be submitted with cover letter...
