Abstract

Scope of Conference The NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS–2009) will be co–located with the 46th Design Automation Conference (DAC 2009) and held July 29 â€“ August 1, 2009, in Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, California, USA. The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading researchers from the adaptive hardware and systems community to exchange experiences and share new ideas in the field. The conference expands the topics addressed by the precursor series of NASA/DoD Conference on Evolvable Hardware, held between 1999 and 2005. With a broader scope including a variety of hardware and system adaptation methods and targeting more industry participation, the NASA/ESA series started with the AHS 2006 conference held in Istanbul, Turkey, June 15–18 2006, AHS 2007 conference held in Edinburgh, UK, August 5–8 2007, and AHS 2008 conference held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, June 22–25 2008. Adaptation reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes, such as uncertainties and variations during fabrication, faults and degradations, modifications in the operational environment, incidental or intentional interference, different users and preferences, modifications of standards and requirements, trade–offs between performance and resources. Adaptation at hardware levels increases the system capabilities beyond what is possible with software–only solutions, and a large number of adaptation features employing both analog and digital adjustments are becoming increasingly present in the most elementary system components. Algorithms, techniques, and their implementation in hardware are developed over a diverse variety of applications, such as adaptive communications (adapting to changing environment and interferences), reconfigurable systems on a chip and portable wireless devices (adapting to power limitations) or survivable spacecraft (adapting to extreme environments and mission unknowns). This meeting will provide a forum for discussion on the generic techniques of adaptive hardware and systems, with a focus on communications and space applications, with view to its expansion and exploitation in other applications such as consumer, medical, defence and security, etc. The AHS–2009 proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and made available through the IEEE Xplore. Topics to be covered include, but not limited to: Automated design methodologies and tools Verification and validation of adaptive systems Trust verification in adaptive hardware Adaptation aspects in synthetic biology Built–in tuneable structures and automated tuning Automatic/self–calibration Built–in self–test and self–repair Design and test of integrated system in nano scale On–chip learning and adaptation Adaptive circuits and configurable IP cores Reconfigurable and morphable hardware Reconfigurable hardware for space applications Embryonic hardware, morphogenesis Evolvable hardware Design for adaptive systems Adaptive embedded system Adaptive control circuits and adaptive flight hardware Search and optimization algorithms for adaptive hardware Hardware implementations of optimization engines Learning and evolutionary algorithms for adaptive hardware Algorithms for exploring design space of adaptive hardware Adaptive computing and run–time reconfiguration Adaptation with hardware in the loop Adaptive optics Adaptive antennas Adaptive sensing Adaptive MEM/NEMS devices Adaptive interfaces Hardware for adaptive signal processing Adaptive medical and prosthetic devices Adaptive wired and wireless networks Adaptive hardware for autonomous systems Adaptive flight hardware Space applications Communications applications MEMS/NEMS energy scavenging devices Emerging technologies–Nanoelectronics Reconfigurable computing incl. multi core architectures Adaptive wireless for space Secure data and information systems High–performance reconfigurable computing
