Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-power and low-energy requirements in embedded systems are increasingly critical, because they are strongly related to battery duration and to life cycle of the final product. However, the exploitation of even more heterogeneous HW/SW platforms makes it even more difficult to deal with such issues at early stage of design phases, since power/energy features of a chip can be difficult to be properly considered without analysing its physical implementation (e.g., to consider issues like Dark Silicon). To partially solve such problems, recent research lines have highlighted the fact that a run-time support has to be considered, in order to deal with different scenarios: Considering for example a Cyber-Physical System, there can be different optimal points of work, depending on the environment. Thus, this should be also taken into consideration since the initial design-steps in order to have an optimal run-time manager that can serve requirements. For all such reasons, this Special Issues of JLPEA is focused on “Electronic System-Level (ESL) HW/SW Co-Design of Power-Aware Embedded Systems”, by considering methodologies, models, tools and design flows able to support the designer of power aware embedded systems both in terms of design-time and run-time.
The readers of this Special Issue will be able to familiarize themselves with the recent advances in the Electronic Design Automation domain oriented to ESL and power-aware applications. Original contributions from the following non-exhaustive list of topics are solicited:
- Power-aware ESL HW/SW co-design of embedded systems
- On-chip monitoring of embedded systems power and performance
- Power-aware run-time management of HW/SW embedded systems resources
- HW/SW support to power-aware deep learning in embedded systems
- HW/SW support to power-aware management of memory hierarchies in embedded 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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
