Applied Reconfigurable Computing

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing, ARC 2015, held in Bochum, Germany, in April 2015.

The 23 full papers and 20 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. They are organized in topical headings named: architecture and modeling; tools and compilers; systems and applications; network-on-a-chip; cryptography applications; extended abstracts of posters. In addition, the book contains invited papers on funded R&D - running and completed projects and Horizon 2020 funded projects.

Autorentext
Michael Hübner, geboren 1968, arbeitete als Keramiker, Logistiker und freiberuflicher Webdesigner, bevor er das Schreiben für sich entdeckte. Sein erster Thriller war ein großer Lesererfolg und wurde in zahlreichen Foren und Blogs gelobt. Michael Hübners zweite Leidenschaft gilt der Fotografie und dem digitalen Bearbeiten von Bildern. Er lebt mit seiner Frau und drei Töchtern in der Nähe von Koblenz.
