FPL25 Reading List

Highlighting Significant Contributions from 25 Years of the International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications (1991–2014)

The first International Conference on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) was held in 1991 at Oxford University. In the ensuing years, it has become the largest meeting on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies and systems, and many important contributions have been published at the conference. Below are listed the most significant contributions from 1991 to 2014. The selection was made by an international Significant Papers Committee (SPC), as described in this article, where the endorsements are detailed.
