ASAP 2009 is the 20th in a series of annual international conferences
on application-specific computing. This year's event takes place
in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The history of
the event traces back to the International Workshop on Systolic
Arrays, organized in 1986 in Oxford, UK. It later developed into the
International Conference on Application Specific Array Processors.
With its current title, it was organized for the first time in
Chicago, USA in 1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe
and North-America.
