Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Electronics, entitled “Memristor Device and Memristive System”, is dedicated to both theory and applications of memristors and memristive devices and systems, especially in the domain of brain-inspired computing, i.e., neuromorphic computing. Starting with the theoretical foundations for the fourth fundamental circuit element, postulated in the work of Prof. Leon Chua in 1971, followed by an influential paper from 2008 by the HP Labs group led by Stanley Williams, memristors continue to attract extensive research interest. With the ability to support multilevel resistance states, inherent plasticity, high scalability potential, and energy-efficient operation modes, memristive devices are promising building blocks in neuromorphic computing.
This Special Issue aims to collate original research papers in the domain of mathematical models of memristive devices (including memristors, memcapacitors, and meminductors), design and application of memristive circuits, ReRAM, memristive-based neurons and synapses, training algorithms for memristive neural networks (MNNs) and memristive spiking neural networks (MSNN), neuromorphic computing, and the design and application of bio-inspired computing architectures.
Research areas of interest within this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Training algorithms for memristive neural networks and memristive spiking neural networks;
- Theoretical modeling of memristive devices;
- Artificial neural networks based on memristors;
- Memristive neuron and synapse for SNNs and MSNNs;
- Unconventional computing with memristors;
- Neuromorphic circuits;
- Bio-inspired algorithms and systems;
- In-memory computing;
- Applications of memristors in AI;
- Complex networks with memristors;
- Application of memristive circuits in biomedical engineering.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
