Call for Papers: 2005 MAPLD International Conference

                            Call for Papers

                   2005 MAPLD International Conference

         Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
                           Washington, D.C.

                          September 7-9, 2005



   The 8th annual MAPLD International Conference will present papers on
   programmable logic devices and technologies, digital engineering, and
   related fields, for military and aerospace applications.   Devices,
   technologies, logic design, verification, flight applications, fault
   tolerance, reliability, radiation susceptibility, and encryption
   applications of programmable devices, processors, and adaptive
   computing systems in military and aerospace systems are topics for
   papers.  

   For 2005, MAPLD will be expanded to 3 full days and will feature
   expanded "Birds of a Feather" Workshop Sessions.  Full-day seminars
   will be offered on September 6, 2005.

   We are planning an exciting program with presentations by Government,
   industry, academia, and consultants, including talks by distinguished
   Invited Speakers.   This conference is open to US and foreign
   participation and is unclassified.  For related information, please
   see the NASA Office of Logic Design Web Site (http://klabs.org).

Are you aware that throughout your entire post you neglected to define
the meaning of the acronym "MAPLD"?

I did a Google search and found out that it stands for "Military and
Aerospace Programmable Logic Devices".

Your announcement is certainly topical in comp.arch.embedded, but
spelling out the name of the organization would have been nice.
