Conference Program

The conference starts on March 12 with Tutorials (A Run-Time Reconfigurable FPGA-based Computer for Partially Reconfigurable Applications, Optimizing Hardware Function Evaluation). The tutorials take place at the ETZ building in room ETZ F76.2 (directions).

March 13-14 there is the regular Conference Program with 4 keynote talks (Giovanni De Micheli, Jan Bosch, Alan Southall, and Hartmut Schmeck). The conference take place at the ETH main building in room HG D7.1 (directions).

The conference banquet will take place on Tuesday, March 13 on 19:00 at restaurant "Haus zum Rüden (" directions).

On March 15, two Workshops will take place (Dynamically Reconfigurable Systems, Verlässlichkeit und Fehlertoleranz). The workshops take place at the ETZ building in room ETZ E6 and E8 respectively (directions).

Important Dates

ARCS 2007 will cover a broad range of research topics related to basic technology, architecture, and application of computing systems. Organic Computing (Autonomic or Proactive Computing) may help to manage the increasing complexity of computing systems. ARCS 2007 is intended for researchers, R&D engineers, and practitioners. The key topics of this conference are:

Emergent Behaviour of Computing Systems
