Advances in Programming Parallel and Heterogeneous Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, the scientific community has taken significant steps in the development of increasingly complex heterogeneous and parallel computing systems for cyberphysical system (CPS) applications. These platforms feature several units dedicated to accelerating specific tasks such as machine learning, (event or streaming) sensor data processing, cyberphysical system control, and cybersecurity. These accelerators require dedicated programming models which in some cases require completely different approaches. This picture is even more diverse considering the increasing interest in beyond-Von-Neumann architectures such as neuromorphic devices exploiting densely interconnected multicores and mixed-signal integrated architectures.

In this context, programming environments are struggling to catch up and reduce the so-called software gap by implementing suitable programming environments for CPS. This Special Issue invites researchers to share discoveries and knowledge in programming models, compilers, toolchain, and runtime support for next-generation heterogeneous and parallel architectures, particularly focusing on CPS applications and going beyond traditional computing approaches.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
