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.
