Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) are widely used in embedded and low-power systems for various real-time industrial applications. Their hardware reconfigurability enables application flexibility and meets stringent computing, real-time, and control demands arising from a vast number of industrial and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications in domains including manufacturing, automobile, drones, robotics, military, space stations, smart homes and cities, and smart transportation. Furthermore, FPGAs and CPLDs offer a favorable price-performance ratio compared to ASICs for medium-volume markets, thanks to their numerous I/O pins, reconfigurable logic and embedded Digital Signal Processing (DSP) cores, and off-the-shelf availability. Additionally, they are capable of outperforming CPUs through spatial and reconfigurable computing in terms of latency and energy. The aim of this special issue is to highlight the latest research and development in the field of FPGA-based embedded systems for computing, real-time, and control demands arising from existing or emerging industrial and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. It will feature articles that cover a wide range of topics, including highperformance computing, energy efficiency, machine learning, interoperability, cybersecurity, and human-machine interface. The special issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of embedded systems, computer engineering, industrial control and others related to this domain of research. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • FPGA-based embedded systems design for industrial control or IoT applications such as robotics, manufacturing, power systems, and smart homes. • Developing standards and protocols for seamless communication and data exchange between FPGAs and industrial or IoT systems. • FPGA-based embedded systems for implementing machine learning and AI algorithms in real-time industrial control or IoT applications. • FPGA-based embedded systems for cybersecurity, robustness, and/or dependability. • Energy-efficient FPGA-based embedded systems while maintaining or improving the performance. • High-performance computing in FPGA-based embedded systems. • Various related application algorithms mapped to FPGA-based embedded systems, leveraging FPGAspecific architectures and features. • Novel FPGA architecture designs to better support industrial control or IoT applications. • Novel Electronic Design Automation (EDA) algorithms for such FPGA-based embedded systems. • • Hardware/software co-design, compilers, and embedded operating systems for such FPGA-based embedded systems. Real-time scheduling for such FPGA-based embedded systems. Important Dates: • Paper Submission Deadline: September 1, 2023 • Author Notification for first round of review: October 20, 2023 • Revised Papers Submission: November 20, 2023 • Notification of Final Acceptance: January 5, 2024 • Tentative Publication: Spring 2024 Submission Information Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality original research contributions that will not require major revisions. Please clearly identify the additional material from any original conference paper in your submitted manuscript. Submissions of relevant original work not previously presented at any conference are especially welcome. Concurrent submission to any other conference or journal is a ground for rejection of a manuscript without review. All papers will be fully refereed to the usual journal standards.
