The International Conference on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) was the first and remains the largest conference covering the rapidly growing area of field-programmable logic, reconfigurable computing, and applications. The conference continues to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry from around the world. Many of the advances in reconfigurable system architectures, applications, embedded processing, design automation methods, and tools have been first published in the proceedings of the FPL conference series.

This year, the 36^th edition of FPL will be held in Ghent, Belgium. The main conference will take place from September 7^th until September 9^th, 2026. The workshops and tutorials will be organized on September 10^th and 11^th, 2026.

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers in IEEE double column format. Submitted long papers are limited to 8 pages plus references (references must not exceed two pages), short papers are limited to 5 pages plus references (references must not exceed one page). This is a strict limit, and papers exceeding this limit will be rejected automatically.

List of Topics

Contributions within (but not limited to) the following topics related to Field-Programmable Logic and Applications are very welcome:

• Architectures and technology
• Design methods and tools
• Application acceleration
• AI/ML acceleration
• Use of AI/ML to improve design tools
• Programming models and languages
• High-performance computing
• Run-time reconfiguration
• Coarse-grain reconfiguration
• Sustainability of and through reconfigurable components

Papers will be accepted in the category they are submitted in (long or short) and there will be no possibility to buy extra pages on top of the allocated pages. The conference proceedings will be made available online during the conference. The conference proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore.

Long and short papers should be submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fpl2026.

Make sure to check out the submission guidelines for detailed information at 2026.fpl.org.

There will also be a PhD Forum, intended as a venue for PhD students to present their work in progress and preliminary results, in a special poster session to receive feedback from other researchers. Abstracts for the Ph.D. forum will be solicited later in 2026. Regularly check 2026.fpl.org for updates on the call for abstracts.
