Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and reconfigurable systems have demonstrated significant value in various fields such as telecommunications, artificial intelligence, image processing, automotive electronics, defense industries, and medical imaging. While traditional general-purpose processors often struggle to meet the high-performance computing demands required for highly parallel, customized, and real-time applications, FPGAs and reconfigurable systems can overcome these bottlenecks by offering flexible and efficient solutions. These technologies play a critical role in enabling industries to achieve intelligent upgrades and transformations in complex environments that demand dynamic adaptability, scalability, and high-performance computing.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to rapidly disseminate the latest theories and research findings across a broad spectrum of topics, with a particular focus on the latest advancements, practical applications, and future trends of FPGAs and reconfigurable systems. We encourage scholars to submit papers on performance improvements, architecture optimization, and case applications related to FPGAs and reconfigurable systems, whether in research articles, technical communications, review papers, or brief reports. We especially welcome interdisciplinary contributions that explore how to bridge the gap between methodology and metrology and how to drive innovative applications of FPGAs across various fields. The close connections and synergies between different research domains provide substantial opportunities for the advancement of these technologies. Through this Special Issue, we aim to bring together cutting-edge research and technological innovations to accelerate the development and application of FPGAs and reconfigurable systems across diverse sectors. We look forward to your contributions as we collectively push forward this exciting area of research.

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.
