This book contains papers first presented at the Second
International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and
Applications (FPL '92), held in Vienna, Austria, in
August-September 1992.
The growing importance of field-programmable devices,
especially of field-programmable gate arrays, is
demonstrated by the increased number of papers submitted in
1992. Of the 70 papers submitted, 23 were selected for this
book. The first three papers were invited and discuss
strategic issues and give surveys. Three papers deal with
new FPGA architectures and five papers introduce methods and
tools. The last twelve papers report applications focusing
on rapid prototyping or new FPGA-based computer
architectures.
The invited papersare: "Overview of complex array-based
PLDs" by G. Biehl; "Technologies and utilization of field
programmable gate arrays" by J. Isoaho, A. Nummela, andH.
Tenhunen; and "Some considerations on field-programmable
gate arrays and their impact on system design" by A.
Sangiovanni-Vincentelli.
