Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions
on Computers
This call for papers is for a special
issue on Smart Edge Computing and
the Internet of Things (IoT). The
special issue is organized by Prof.
Luca Benini, Prof. Taekwang Jang,
Dr. Abbas Rahimi, and Dr. Simone
Benatti.
The evolution of the IoT is changing the nature of edge computing
devices. End nodes have to support, in place, an increasing range
of functionality: multisensory data
processing and analysis, complex
systems control strategies, and,
ultimately, artificial intelligence.
These new capabilities will enable
disruptive innovation in wearable
and implantable biomedical devices,
autonomous insect-sized drones,
autonomous smart environmental
sensing, safety-critical real-time
applications and structural health
monitoring, and more. In this special
issue, we are seeking contributions
on IoT smart edge computing architectures, systems, and related hardware-software design approaches.
Topics of interest include but are
not limited to

Call for Papers: IEEE Journal on
Exploratory Solid-State
Computational Devices and Circuits
IEEE Journal on Exploratory SolidState Computational Devices and
Circuits, an open-access-only publication, calls for papers on the
special topic Coupled Oscillators
for Non-von Neumann Computation. This special issue is organized by Prof. Chris Kim and Prof.
Azad Naeemi.
When oscillators are loosely
coupled to each other, energ y
transfer bet ween the individual
oscillators causes their frequencies
to synchronize. The same principle can be found in real life, for
instance, metronomes placed on
a floating wooden board, pendulums connected via springs, and
internal organs following a circadian rhythm. Depending on the
strength and time lag of the coupling medium, the phases of the
oscillators settle in a way that minimizes the contentions among the
oscillating signals. Recent works
have shown that the coupled oscillator's natural ability to evolve to
the ground state can be exploited
to solve computationally intractable problems, such as graph coloring, max cut, factorization, neural
networks, associative memories,
and pattern recognition. Here, the
