In 1999 I founded and chaired the
NASA/DOD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware. In 2002 this was renamed the
NASA/DOD Conference on Evolvable Hardware.In 2006 this was morphed into
the current NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems.
Together with colleagues Didier Keymeulen (JPL) and Tughrul Arslan (U
Edinburgh) I am member of the Conference Sterring Committee.

Scope and Topics
The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading researchers
from the adaptive hardware and systems community to exchange
experiences and share new ideas in the field. The conference expands
the topics addressed by the precursor series of NASA/DoD Conference on
Evolvable Hardware, held between 1999 and 2005. With a broader scope
including a variety of hardware and system adaptation methods and
targeting more industry participation, the NASA/ESA series started with
the AHS-2006 conference held in Istanbul, Turkey, and continued
annually with AHS-2007 conference held in Edinburgh, UK, AHS-2008
conference held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, AHS-2009 conference held
in San Francisco, USA, and AHS-2010 conference held in Anaheim, USA.
Adaptation reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve
its performance in the context of internal or external changes, such as
uncertainties and variations during fabrication, faults and
degradations, modifications in the operational environment, incidental
or intentional interference, different users and preferences,
modifications of standards and requirements, trade-offs between
performance and resources.
The conference welcomes original contributions in the areas of hardware
and software adaptation at different system levels, including novel
tools and algorithms for adaptive system design (e.g. adaptation-aware
compilers), novel applications of adaptive hardware and systems (e.g.
intelligent agent machines), and novel enabling hardware technologies
for such systems (e.g. instrumentation platforms, novel reconfigurable
and multi-core architectures). We particularly welcome novel
contributions in the areas of adaptive data transmission for
telecommunications (e.g. adapting to power limitations, changing
environment, and interferences), novel data compression techniques
(e.g. new image compression techniques for space applications), and
novel software/hardware architectures for unmanned autonomous vehicles
(e.g. adapting to extreme environments and mission unknowns).
While the focus of this conference is on communications and space
applications, we welcome original contributions in other application
areas such as consumer, medical, defence and security, as the
techniques employed can be disseminated across the board.
