The 3rd workshop on Reconfigurable Architectures 
and Algorithms will be held in conjunction with 
the IPPS'96.  For the purpose of this workshop, 
a reconfigurable architecture consists of 
processors connected by a reconfigurable network.  
The topology of the network connecting the processors 
is fixed, whereas the internal connections between 
the I/O ports of each processor can be configured 
locally during execution of the algorithm.  Numerous 
algorithms have been presented in the scientific 
literature. They have addressed wide range of problems;
e.g., computer vision, sorting, packet routing, 
embedding of fixed topologies, and fault tolerance.

The workshop will feature keynote speakers, several 
sessions of submitted research and position papers. 
A position paper presents a particular subject which is in 
the center of interest for the community.  Position papers
may include, but are not limited to: the introduction and 
justification of a new model, or of a new line of research.
The tradition of an informal panel discussion and problem 
session, which was very fruitful in the previous workshops, 
will continue.  Proceedings will be available at the 
symposium and later by public ftp.  

Authors are invited to submit position papers and manuscripts 
which demonstrate original research in all areas of 
reconfigurable architectures, algorithms and applications. 
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Reconfiguration networks, custom Computing Machines,
complexity & Scalability, problem Solving Paradigms,
enabling technologies, mapping of Fixed Topologies,
and algorithms for: Graphics and animation, computer 
arithmetic, image processing, computational geometry
and numerical problems.

All papers will be reviewed by the program committee.
