First Call for Papers
7th Mil/Aerospace Applications of Programmable
Logic Devices International Conference (MAPLD)
Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, D.C.
September 8-10, 2004
Hosted by the NASA Office of Logic Design
The 7th annual MAPLD International Conference's extensive
program
will include presentations, seminars, workshops, and
exhibits
on programmable logic devices and technologies, digital
engineering,
and related fields for military and aerospace applications.
Devices, technologies, logic design, flight applications,
fault
tolerance, usage, reliability, radiation susceptibility, and
encryption applications of programmable devices, processors,
and adaptive computing systems in military and aerospace
systems
are among the subjects for the conference.
We are planning an exciting event with presentations by
Government, industry, and academia, including talks by
distinguished Invited Speakers. This conference is open to
US and foreign participation and is not classified. For
related
information, please see the NASA Office of Logic Design Web
Site
(http://klabs.org).
This year, there will be special emphasis on the following
themes:
"War Stories" and Lessons Learned
Programmable Logic and Obsolescence Issues
Implementing high performance, high reliability
processor cores.
Logic design evaluation, design guidelines, and
recommendations.
Verification methods for radiation hardness and fault
tolerance.
Applications such as MIL-STD interfaces, UAV's, and
controllers.
Automated Checkers for low reliability design
constructs.
PLD tools/methods that we need but vendors don't
supply.
CONFERENCE HOME PAGE - http://klabs.org/mapld04 - contains
an abundance of information on both technical and
programmatic
aspects of the conference.
SEMINARS - Two full-day seminars will be presented:
VHDL Synthesis for High-Reliability Systems
Aerospace Mishaps and Lessons Learned
PANEL SESSION:
Why Are Next Generation Launch Vehicles and Spacecraft
So Hard?
WORKSHOPS & "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" SPECIAL SESSIONS
Mitigation Methods for Reprogrammable Logic in
The Space Radiation Environment
Reconfigurable Computing - New Extended Format!
PLD Failures, Analyses, and the Impact on Systems - NEW
for 2004!!!
Digital Engineering and Computer Design - A
Retrospective and
Lessons Learned for Today's Engineers
"An Application Engineer's View" - Back for 2004!
TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
Applications: Military and Aerospace
Systems and Design Tools
