This book contains papers first presented at the Second International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '92), held in Vienna, Austria, in August-September 1992. The growing importance of field-programmable devices, especially of field-programmable gate arrays, is demonstrated by the increased number of papers submitted in 1992. Of the 70 papers submitted, 23 were selected for this book. The first three papers were invited and discuss strategic issues and give surveys. Three papers deal with new FPGA architectures and five papers introduce methods and tools. The last twelve papers report applications focusing on rapid prototyping or new FPGA-based computer architectures. The invited papersare: "Overview of complex array-based PLDs" by G. Biehl; "Technologies and utilization of field programmable gate arrays" by J. Isoaho, A. Nummela, andH. Tenhunen; and "Some considerations on field-programmable gate arrays and their impact on system design" by A. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli.
