FCCM 2027

The 35th IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM 2027)
May 9 – 12, 2027, Provo, Utah, USA
Conference Site: https://www.fccm.org
Submission Site: https://fccm27.hotcrp.com/

The IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines is the original and premier forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique features and capabilities of FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware. Over the past three decades, FCCM has been the place to present papers on architectures, tools, and programming models for field-programmable custom computing machines as well as applications that use such systems.

Topics of Interest

• Custom Computing and Reconfigurable Architectures:
  Heterogeneous and mixed signal digital/analog field customizable accelerators
  Neuromorphic emulation and accelerators
  Memory centric computing architectures
  Overlays, coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures
  Clusters, data centers, and large systems
  IoT and Embedded SoC, MPSoC architectures with reconfigurable devices
  Security enhancements for reconfigurable computing
  Customizable soft processor systems
  
• Abstractions, Programming Models, and Tools:
  Use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for FPGA design
  Domain-specific languages, frameworks, and open-source HW/SW synthesis/compilation tools
  Design tools, instrumentation, debug for designer productivity
  High-level synthesis
  Software-defined-systems (e.g. radio, networks, frameworks for new domains)
  CAD tools, abstractions, and languages for mixed analog/digital fabrics
• Run-Time Reconfiguration:
  Run-time management and scheduling of reconfigurable hardware
  System resilience/fault tolerance for reconfigurable hardware
  Evolvable, adaptable, approximate, or autonomous reconfigurable computing systems
  Security assessment and enhancement of run-time reconfiguration
• Applications:
  Evaluations and analysis on custom computing architectures with GPUs, NPUs, or DSPs
  Post Quantum Cryptography, quantum control and emulation
  Safety critical, reliable and high assurance
  Security detection and prevention, and side channel analysis and attack
  Digital twin, modeling, and acceleration

Submission Guidelines

Research submissions can be in either of two categories:

• Long — at most 8 pages (excluding references), for a regular presentation at the conference.
• Short — at most 4 pages (excluding references), for a brief presentation at the conference. This category is intended for new projects, early results, late breaking, and work that can be presented concisely in the 4-page budget.

FCCM uses a double-blind review system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations. In addition, papers must not be simultaneously under review or waiting to appear at another conference or in a journal and must not be essentially the same as any paper that has been previously published.

AI policy: Per IEEE policy, the use of content generated by AI in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code), except editing and grammar enhancement, shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. Failure of proper disclosure may result in a desk reject.
