Journal of Embedded Computing (JEC)
Contents
JEC is a refereed international journal, initially published quarterly, providing an international forum to report, discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas. Papers should be of a quality that represents the state-of-the-art and the latest advances in time-to-market, cost, code size, weight, testability, power, real-time behavior, and stimulating future trends. Subject Coverage: The JEC journal covers all aspects of the embedded computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Embedded Hardware Support: System-on-a-chip, DSPs, hardware specification, synthesis, modeling, simulation and analysis at all levels for low power, power-aware, testable, reliable, verifiable systems, performance modeling, validation, security issues, real-time behavior, and safety critical systems, etc.
2. Embedded Software: Compilers, assemblers and cross assemblers, programming, memory management, object-oriented aspects, virtual machines, scheduling, concurrent software for SoCs, distributed/resource aware OS, OS and middleware support, etc.
3. Embedded System Architecture: Heterogeneous multiprocessors, reconfigurable platforms, memory management support, communication, protocols, network-on-chip, real-time systems, and embedded microcontrollers, etc.
4. Hardware/Software Co-design: Methodologies, test and debug strategies, real-time systems, interaction between architecture and software design, specification and modeling, design representation, synthesis, partitioning, estimation, design space exploration beyond traditional hardware/software boundary, theory and algorithms, etc.
5. Real-time Systems: All real-time related aspects such as software, distributed real-time systems, real-time kernels, real-time OS, task scheduling, multitasking design, etc.
6. Testing Techniques: All aspects of testing, including design-for-test, test synthesis, built-in self-test, and embedded test, for embedded and system-on-a-chip systems.
7. Application-specific Processors and Devices: Network processors, real-time processor, media and signal processors, application specific Hardware accelerators, reconfigurable processors, low power embedded processors, bio/fluidic processors, bluetooth, handheld devices, flash memory chips, etc.
8. Industrial Practices and Benchmark Suites: System design, processor design, software, tools, case studies, trends, emerging technologies, experience maintaining benchmark suites, representation, interchange format, tools, copyrights, maintenance, reference implementations, and metrics, etc.
