Special Session 1: Hardware Security on FPGA

The special session on Hardware Security in FPT 2014 aims to bring together the academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results in the leading technologies and applications related to the hardware security on FPGAs. The topics include (but are not limited to):

The security-attacking techniques, including the Trojan design, side channel techniques, reverse engineering and hacking techniques (e.g. to encryption, license, etc.).
The security-defending techniques, including the Trojan defense (detection and Trojan-preventing design), intellectual property protection (prevention from the overbuilding, counterfeit, replay, license-cracking, piracy, reverse engineering, side channel, etc.), reliability enhancement against the external attacks (e.g. the fault attacks) and secure hardware authentication (e.g. IC identification, tracing and Trojan detection).

The security-related applications on FPGAs, including the security-centric applications on FPGAs and the security attacking/defending implementations on FPGAs.

Special Session 2: Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) with FPGA

The special session on PHM with FPGA in FPT 2014 aims to bring together the academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results in the leading technologies and applications related to the PHM with FPGA. The data-driven methodologies gradually become the hot issues in Prognostics of complex systems, in which condition monitoring, anomaly detection, diagnostics, remaining useful life estimation based on popular machine learning algorithms are involving. The topics include (but are not limited to):

System monitoring with FPGA, including sensing technologies, instruments design, preprocessing, anomaly detection, and trends analysis.
Prognostics with FPGA, including machine learning, model-based methods, hybrid approaches and other related methods.
Reliable computing with FPGA technology, including SEU simulation, anti SEU tech, and spatial application of FPGA.
PHM Applications with FPGA and other embedded platform.

Submission Guidelines

The program committee solicits papers describing original research or high quality tutorial expositions in field programmable technology, including, but not limited to, the areas of interest indicated above. High quality posters are also solicited. Current postgraduate research students are invited to submit a short paper detailing their proposed research to be presented in a poster based Ph.D. forum. Papers should be submitted electronically via the conference website in PDF format, following the IEEE style. Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length, while posters should not exceed 4 pages in length. Ph.D. forum papers are limited to 2 pages. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations. Self-references can either (1) be shown as "Removed for blind review" or (2) be referenced in the 3^rd person, in the same way you would reference work by another group.

In order to avoid TPC members providing reviews for papers submitted by close colleages (e.g., those from the same institution), authors should identify TPC members who would have a conflict of interest from the checkbox list on the submission page.
