Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Our society’s growing demand to integrate artificial intelligence in edge devices poses a significant challenge to traditional computing systems, which struggle to maintain low-power requirements while performing online real-time computational tasks. Neuromorphic computing, taking inspiration from biological computational principles, offers a valid low-energy alternative for real-time edge applications, bridging novel engineering principles with artificial intelligence.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in low-energy neuromorphic technologies and algorithms for edge computing applications. Contributions in the form of original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and case studies are all welcome.

This Special Issue will cover topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Energy-efficient neuromorphic architectures for edge computing applications;
  • Event-based sensing technologies and algorithms;
  • Low-power sensor fusion applications;
  • Biologically inspired algorithms for low-power edge applications;
  • Emerging technologies and concepts for low-energy computing;
  • In/near-memory computing paradigms for edge applications;
  • Reversible neuromorphic architectures.

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
