Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of digital technology is firmly steered by key concepts such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the evolution of system-on-chip (SoC). These pivotal elements seamlessly integrate programmable logic, creating a potent synergy that manifests in spatial and temporal computing. While SoCs stand as a milestone in technological evolution, incorporating processors and reconfigurable logic areas, FPGAs emerge as fundamental devices for the rapid development of complex digital circuits. Together, SoCs and FPGAs create an ecosystem that not only accelerates the time to market but also opens the doors to a new computing paradigm, where flexibility and spatial–temporal optimization are at the forefront of digital innovation. The significance of these FPGA and SoC architectures extends beyond mere computing power, influencing the design of advanced devices in sectors such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and robotics, radically transforming how we interact with technology in our daily lives.

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. Electronics 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.
