NASA/ESA Conference
on Adaptive Hardware and Systems
(AHS-2008)
June 22-25, 2008
|
Scope of Conference The
NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS-2008) will be held
June 22-25, 2008, at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre
(ESTEC)in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The purpose of the conference is to
bring together leading researchers from the adaptive hardware and systems
community to exchange experiences and share new ideas in the field. The
conference expands the topics addressed by the precursor series of NASA/DoD
Conference on Evolvable Hardware the NASA/ESA series, held between 1999 and
2005. With a broader scope including a variety of hardware and system
adaptation methods and targeting more industry participation, started with
the AHS 2006 conference held in Istanbul, Turkey, June 15-18 2006 and AHS2007
conference held in Edinburgh, UK, August 5-8 2007. Adaptation
reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in
the context of internal or external changes, such as uncertainties and
variations during fabrication, faults and degradations, modifications in the
operational environment, incidental or intentional interference, different
users and preferences, modifications of standards and requirements,
trade-offs between performance and resources, etc. Adaptation at hardware
levels increases the system capabilities beyond what is possible with
software-only solutions, and a large number of adaptation features employing
both analog and digital adjustments are becoming increasingly present in the
most elementary system components. Algorithms, techniques, and their
implementation in hardware are developed over a diverse variety of
applications, such as adaptive communications (adapting to changing
environment and interferences), reconfigurable systems on a chip and portable
wireless devices (adapting to power limitations) or survivable spacecraft
(adapting to extreme environments and mission unknowns). This meeting will
provide a forum for discussion on the generic techniques of adaptive hardware
and systems, with a focus on communications and space applications, with view
to its expansion and exploitation in other applications such as consumer,
medical, defence and security, etc. |
