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.
