JETC 2011 - special issue of the ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC) on asynchronous design

Special Issue on Asynchrony in System Design
CALL FOR PAPERS

DEADLINE: January 15, 2011

Authors are invited to submit papers for a special issue of the ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC) on asynchronous design. The journal provides comprehensive coverage of innovative work in the specification, design, analysis, simulation, verification, testing, and evaluation of computing systems constructed out of emerging technologies. JETC topic areas include computing and sensing devices and systems built using microelectromechanical, biological/biochemical, nanoscale electronic, asynchronous, and quantum technologies.

This special issue will focus on asynchrony in system design. Papers are solicited on any aspect of asynchronous design, ranging from the core topics of design, synthesis, analysis and test, to new asynchronous applications in emerging computing technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

?Asynchrony in emerging technologies, including bio, nano, optical & quantum
?Asynchronous variability-tolerant design and design for manufacturing
?Asynchronous power-adaptive and energy-harvesting systems
?Asynchronous on-chip networks
?Elastic and latency-tolerant synchronous and GALS systems
?CAD tools for asynchronous design, analysis, optimization and test
?Physical design of clockless and mixed-timing systems
?Reliability, security, and radiation tolerance in asynchronous systems
?Formal methods for concurrent system analysis and verification

Information about JETC, including instructions for manuscript preparation, is available on the journal website. Please submit your manuscript electronically via the submission website, and indicate “Special Issue on Asynchrony in System Design” on the cover page and in the notes section of the submission form. Manuscripts must conform to the JETC style (double-spaced in 10-point font), and be limited to 20 pages for research papers, and 40-50 pages for tutorial and survey papers.

Expanded versions of previously published conference research papers are welcome as long as they contain at least 30% new material; authors should clearly state in a footnote on the first page how the manuscript differs from the conference paper. Papers simultaneously submitted elsewhere may be returned without review.

Please contact the guest editors with any questions.
