Proceedings of the 2002 ACM/SIGDA tenth international symposium on Field-programmable gate arrays

On behalf of the organizing and program committees, welcome to FPGA 2002, the tenth ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field Programmable Gate Arrays. This year's symposium features twenty-six papers and twenty-four poster presentations describing the latest FPGA research. Authors from universities and commercial vendors present new work on topics ranging from cryptography and reconfigurable computing to FPGA architecture and design tools.FPGA 2002 provides a relaxed atmosphere for informal information exchange, networking and stimulating discussions with the leaders in FPGA research and development from industry and academia as well as the next generation of FPGA researchers. Paper sessions are separated by ample time to peruse the poster presentations and discuss the latest FPGA news.
