ARC 2025: The 21st International Symposium on Applied Reconfigurable Computing Computing Engineering School (ETSII) of the University of Seville Seville, Spain, April 9-11, 2025

The requirements of electronic systems, in terms of functionality, performance, costs, consumption, and reliability, make new processing paradigms, architectures,and technologies necessary. Reconfigurable computing is crucial in several application domains such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, communication, and automotive, among many others. This symposium aims to explore and advance applications leveraging cutting-edge reconfigurable computing technologies.

Now in its twenty-first edition, the symposium will be held in the beautiful city of Seville, the capital of Andalusia in southern Spain. Beyond its academic significance, this event provides a unique platform for researchers and professionals to network, collaborate, and share the most advanced topics and aspects of applied reconfigurable computing. This edition is being organized by the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville, with the support of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville.

The ARC 2025 proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and will also be available through the SpringerLink online service. Selected papers will be invited to be submitted for consideration in a Journal special issue to be announced shortly (please check the symposium website).
