TITLE: ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems

ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS)
is   a   peer-reviewed   and   archival   journal   that   covers
reconfigurable   technology,   systems,   and   applications   on
reconfigurable computers.  Authors are invited to submit original
manuscripts  for  consideration   after   having   reviewed   the
Information for Authors on this website.     

The first issue was published in March 2008.

TRETS is a new journal focused  on  research  in,  on,  and  with
reconfigurable systems and on the underlying technology (which is
currently that  of  FPGAs  but  could  include  other  approaches
involving  an  adaptable  fabric) that supports these systems for
computing  or  other  applications.  The  scope,  rationale,  and
coverage  by  other  journals  are  often  limited  to particular
aspects of reconfigurable technology or  reconfigurable  systems.
TRETS  will be a journal that covers reconfigurability in its own
right.

Topics that would be appropriate  for  TRETS  would  include  all
levels  of  reconfigurable system abstractions and all aspects of
reconfigurable  technology   including   platforms,   programming
environments and application successes, such as:

    * The systems architecture of a reconfigurable platform.
    * The programming environment of a reconfigurable system.
    * Applications on which success can be demonstrated.
    * The underlying technology from which reconfigurable systems
	  are developed.

In considering  whether  a  paper  is  suitable  for  TRETS,  the
foremost  question  should  be whether reconfigurability has been
essential to success. Topics such  as  architecture,  programming
languages, compilers, and environments, logic synthesis, and high
performance applications are  all  suitable  if  the  context  is
appropriate.   For  example,  an  architecture  for  an  embedded
application that happens to use FPGAs is not necessarily suitable
for   TRETS,  but  a  architecture  using  FPGAs  for  which  the
reconfigurability of  the  FPGAs  is  an  inherent  part  of  the
specifications would be appropriate for TRETS.
