Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuromorphic computing seeks to develop algorithms and hardware inspired by biological neural systems. By leveraging event-driven communication, parallelism, temporal dynamics, adaptive learning, and neuron-based computation, these architectures enable novel approaches to information encoding and processing. Information theory, a mathematical framework for quantifying, storing, and transmitting information, provides a powerful toolset for analyzing these emerging systems. Additionally, complexity theory offers insights into the computational efficiency of neuromorphic architectures, while computability theory explores their fundamental limits relative to classical models of computation. As neuromorphic computing matures, applying these theoretical frameworks presents a unique opportunity to assess its fundamental principles, optimize system design, and characterize neural-inspired computation.
Submissions to this Special Issue entitled ‘Information Processing in Neuromorphic Systems’ are solicited, spanning a range of topics such as (but not limited to) the following:
- Information-theoretic analysis of neuromorphic encoding and computing;
- Computational complexity of neuromorphic approaches;
- Theoretical limits and computability of neuromorphic systems.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
