Foreword
After six years of exciting and intensive research, one of the world’s largest and longest-running programs of research into Reconfigurable Computing is concluding with the publication of the research papers in this volume. The research was launched in 2003 by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the German Research Foundation, as “Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP 1148)” under the title “Rekonfigurierbare Rechensysteme”. This translates as the Priority Programme in Reconfigurable Computing Systems. For convenience, we will refer to it here as SPP 1148. Several aspects of SPP 1148 made it noteworthy from its inception. Beneath the umbrella of reconfigurable computing systems, several key topics were identified. These included theoretical aspects, modeling, languages, analysis, design methodologies, computer-aided design (CAD) tools, architectures and applications. From the onset, the scope of the research was deliberately formulated to be as multidisciplinary as possible. A national network of excellence was established with the aim of encouraging participation from as many academics with novel individual contributions as possible while simultaneously emphasizing and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. The six-year program was organized as three successive funding periods of twoyears each. At each interval, new projects were proposed and existing projects were reviewed. The two largest project sub-themes were design methodologies and tools, and architectures and applications. Feedback from graduate students who participated in SPP 1148 indicates that they felt especially privileged to have been able to conduct their studies within the framework of this program. In particular, they benefited from the highly collaborative environment that was nurtured by the partici
