An Overview of Advances in Reconfigurable Computing Systems

The main purpose of this paper is to point to selected readings in the newly emerging field of reconfigurable computing, as an introduction to other papers in the Minitrack. This paper starts from the classification in [RaMi98] and for each class a list of best papers is offered. The selection was based on a poll among students doing thesis work in the field. Furthermore, a list of the important issues in designing configurable system is given and the text accompanying each presented paper specifies the way systems address these issues.
