Smart Embedded Systems: A Self-Aware System-on-Chip (SoC) and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

A common feature across diverse sets of embedded systems is the need for correct operation in the face of highly dynamic environmental conditions and changing application characteristics. Depending on the embedded system context, the corresponding architectures are highly customized to achieve the often-conflicting constraints of performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Given the increasing complexity of tasks faced by embedded systems, smart cyberphysical systems are the major focus for SoC implementations, which allow the resulting embedded systems to be self-aware, adaptive, and achieve a high level of resilience in the face of highly dynamic and unpredictable environments.

The scope of this Special Issue is on smart embedded systems for novel cyberphysical applications, especially regarding embedded systems hardware. This Special Issue provides an excellent opportunity for communities from both research and industry to present new results. Of special interest are contributions that describe new methods, architectures, and applications of a self-aware system-on-chip (SoC). The topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to cyberphysical SoC for smart embedded systems design and self-awareness for the design of architectural, physical, and circuit layers of SoC 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 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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
