VLSI Architectures for Signal Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Recent digital signal processing applications such as artificial intelligence, 5G digital communication, automotive system, cyber security, computer vision, and video analysis require an increasing data rate as well as ultra-low power consumption for an embedded environment. Computation-intensive signal processing algorithms need to be implemented in dedicated VLSI to realize their real-time processing capabilities. Therefore, it is essential to develop VLSI-friendly digital signal processing algorithms and implement them through efficient design methodologies to achieve a balanced trade-off between speed, power consumption, silicon area, cost, and reconfigurability.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to attract recent high-quality research works as well as review articles on the recent progress for “VLSI Architectures for Signal Processing”, including the analysis and architectureal design of digital signal processing algorithms, practical implementations of digital circuits, VLSI design methodologies, and the application of circuit techniques to digital systems. Design optimizations at all the levels of abstraction fall within the field of interest of this Special Issue, e.g., at the algorithm level, at the register-transfer level, and at the circuit level for VLSI implementation of different components of signal processing algorithms.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
