In conjunction with the 31st IEEE International Conference on High-Performance Computing, Data, & Analytics (HIPC 2024)

Reconfigurable computing involves using hardware that can be dynamically reprogrammed to optimize performance for specific tasks. Heterogeneous computing combines different types of compute elements to handle diverse workloads efficiently. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are mainly used for reconfigurable computing, and are crucial for high-performance computing applications and accelerating machine learning (ML) applications. Unlike general-purpose CPUs and GPUs, FPGAs can be reconfigured to execute repetitive and computationally intense operations, offering better energy efficiency. The Reconfigurable Computing and Systems Workshop (ROCS) is the first edition running in conjunction with HIPC, aimed at attracting participants to discuss aspects of reconfigurable and heterogeneous computing systems. The broad topics of interest include architecture, programming methodologies, heterogeneous computing, applications such as ML acceleration, embedded systems, IoT devices, telecommunications, data center accelerators and related areas.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

General guidelines: Manuscripts submitted to ROCS 2024 should not have been previously published or be under review for a different workshop, conference or journal. Abstracts should contain no more than 300 words and must be submitted along with the paper by the paper submission deadline. The title and abstract submitted by this deadline should have sufficient detail and not just be a placeholder. The submission website should have the final list of authors, as changes will not be feasible later. However, the submitted papers should not list the authors as we follow a double-blind policy. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review.  The accepted papers will be part of the HiPCW (HiPC Workshop) proceedings.

Length of submission: Submitted manuscripts can be full papers or short papers.

• Full papers may not exceed six (6) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5×11 inch pages (IEEE conference style) plus one extra page for references. 
• Short papers may not exceed four (4) plus one extra page for references in the same format. 
• The IEEE paper template is available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Double blind policy: All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee under a double-blind review process. So the submitted paper should NOT list any authors or their affiliations or references to any of their previous work.
