The 28th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors 2017 takes place July 10th to 12th, 2017 in Seattle, WA at the Grand Hyatt Seattle.

The history of the event traces back to the International Workshop on Systolic Arrays, organized in 1986 in Oxford, UK. It later developed into the International Conference on Application Specific Array Processors. With its current title, it was organized for the first time in Chicago, USA in 1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe and North-America.

The conference covers the theory and practice of application-specific systems, architectures and processors - specifically building upon traditional strengths in areas such as computer arithmetic, cryptography, compression, signal and image processing, network processing, reconfigurable computing, application-specific instruction-set processors, and hardware accelerators.

UPDATE: Congratulations to Best Paper Award winners, Yuanfang Li and Ardavan Pedram, for CATERPILLAR: Coarse Grain Reconfigurable Architecture for Accelerating the Training of Deep Neural Networks.

UPDATE: Congratulations to Travel Grant Award winners Joe Edwards of UBC, Jing Chen of McGill University, and Amin Malekpour of University of New South Wales.

UPDATE: TCVLSI has graciously offered 3 student travel awards of 250 USD. If you wish to apply for one of these grants, please send a letter to the General Chair via e-mail. This letter should describe both your and your group's participation in the community to-date. TCVLSI has also graciously offered 150 USD grant for the Best Paper Award, so submit your best work!

ASAP is a sponsored meeting of IEEE-CS Technical Committee on VLSI, which endorses a league of "Sister Conference" such as ARITH, iNIS, ISVLSI, etc. The following link has more details: http://www.computer.org/web/tcvlsi/tcvlsi-sister-conferences.
