First Call for Papers

2005 MAPLD International Conference

Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, D.C.

September 7-9, 2005



The 8th annual MAPLD International Conference will present papers on
programmable logic devices and technologies, digital engineering, and
related fields, for military and aerospace applications. Devices,
technologies, logic design, flight applications, fault tolerance,
usage, reliability, radiation susceptibility, and encryption
applications of programmable devices, processors, and adaptive
computing systems in military and aerospace systems are topics for
papers. For 2005, MAPLD will be expanded to 3 full days and will
feature expanded "Birds of a Feather" Workshop Sessions. Full-day
seminars will be offered on September 6, 2005.

We are planning an exciting program with presentations by Government,
industry, academia, and consultants, including talks by distinguished
Invited Speakers. This conference is open to US and foreign
participation and is unclassified. For related information, please
