Summary

    The First AETHER - MORPHEUS Workshop- Autumn School in From Reconfigurable to Self - Adaptive Computing (AMWAS'07) will be organized in Paris, France in October 8-11, 2007. The innovative "Workshop-Autumn School" format has been chosen to provide participants with both grounding on a new, challenging scientific area and with exposure to research results and proposals.

    The AMWAS'07 will constitute a meeting-point for researchers and graduate students, interested in innovative next-generation computing architectures.


  Main goal

    Although emphasis will be on innovative techniques developed by the AETHER research community, the AMWAS program will not be restricted to the AETHER and MORPHEUS approach but it will provide as well a comparative analysis of other proposals and experiences on reconfigurable and self-adaptive computing solutions, from the hardware level to the application level.
    It is planned that researchers and experts working in other EU-funded research projects will participate, lecturing on each sub-theme, and that the various points of view will be presented in after-lecture discussion hours and in focused seminar sessions.


  Main theme

    The main theme of the AMWAS'07 deals with the broad subject of "Self-adaptive/dynamically reconfigurable Computing Architectures", focusing more specifically on the problem of self-adaptation at all levels within a system, from hardware architecture to application layer. Knowledge to be provided by the AMWAS refers to "Computing with Adaptive Hardware: Architecture and Software."

    The theme will be divided into several sub-themes, which will be presented from the viewpoint of the various disciplines involved in the main AETHER and MORPHEUS subprojects.  The program will include the following sub-themes:
1) adaptive systems and self-adaptive systems
2) static adaptation
3) dynamic adaptation
4) dynamic reconfiguration and self-adaptivity
5) parallelization and allocation of an application onto reconfigurable architectures
