7th Mil/Aerospace Applications of Programmable
Logic Devices International Conference (MAPLD)
Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, D.C.
September 8-10, 2004
Hosted by the NASA Office of Logic Design
Registration is now open for the 7th annual MAPLD International
Conference, September 8-10, 2004, Washington, D.C.
http://www.klabs.org/mapld04/reg/registration.html
The MAPLD program features approximately 130 technical presentations
in a variety of sessions, seminars, and workshops, as well as over 30
Industrial and Government Exhibits covering 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 among the subjects for the conference. Abstracts are
available on-line, via the conference home page.
The Invited Speaker program will include:
