ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems

The ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC) invites submissions of original technical papers describing research and development in emerging technologies in computing systems. Major economic and technical challenges are expected to impede the continued scaling of semiconductor devices. This has resulted in the search for alternate mechanical, biological/biochemical, nanoscale electronic, asynchronous and quantum computing, and sensor technologies. As the underlying nanotechnologies continue to evolve in the labs of chemists, physicists, and biologists, it has become imperative for computer scientists and engineers to translate the potential of the basic building blocks (analogous to the transistor) emerging from these labs into information systems. Their design will face multiple challenges ranging from the inherent (un)reliability due to the self-assembly nature of the fabrication processes for nanotechnologies, from the complexity due to the sheer volume of nanodevices that will have to be integrated for complex functionality, and from the need to integrate these new nanotechnologies with silicon devices in the same system. The journal provides comprehensive coverage of innovative work in the specification, design analysis, simulation, verification, testing, and evaluation of computing systems constructed out of emerging technologies and advanced semiconductors. Also of interest are innovations in system design for green and sustainable computing, and computing-driven solutions to emerging areas in biotechnology. Topics include, but are not limited to:Logic Primitive Design and Synthesis: how to design computational logic primitives from the new nanotechnologies, and design tools supporting their effective design and verification,System-Level Specification, Design and Synthesis: how to interconnect these computational primitives to build complete information systems, and design tools for specifying, synthesizing, and verifying such systems,Software-Level Specification, Design and Synthesis: how to develop the necessary software so that applications can be effectively mapped onto information systems implemented using these new nanotechnologies, and tools for generating and verifying the software, andMixed-Technology Systems: how to interface across potentially hybrid nanotechnologies that may co-exist in the same information system.

ACM计算系统新兴技术期刊(JETC)邀请提交描述计算系统新兴技术的研究和开发的原始技术论文。预计主要的经济和技术挑战将阻碍半导体器件的继续扩大。这导致了对替代机械、生物/生化、纳米电子、异步和量子计算以及传感器技术的研究。随着基础纳米技术在化学家、物理学家和生物学家的实验室中不断发展，计算机科学家和工程师必须将这些实验室中出现的基本构件(类似于晶体管)的潜力转化为信息系统。他们的设计将会面临多重挑战,从固有的可靠性(联合国)由于自组装纳米技术的制造过程的本质,从复杂性由于大量纳米器件必须集成对于复杂的功能,和需要整合这些新纳米技术与硅设备在同一系统。该杂志全面涵盖了由新兴技术和先进半导体构建的计算系统的规范、设计分析、仿真、验证、测试和评估方面的创新工作。同样令人感兴趣的还有绿色和可持续计算系统设计方面的创新，以及生物技术新兴领域的计算驱动解决方案。主题包括但不限于：逻辑原语设计与合成：如何从新的纳米技术中设计计算逻辑原语，以及支持其有效设计与验证的设计工具，系统级规范、设计和综合：如何互连这些计算原语来构建完整的信息系统，以及用于指定、综合和验证这些系统的设计工具，软件级规范、设计和综合：如何开发必要的软件，使应用程序能够有效地映射到使用这些新纳米技术实现的信息系统，以及生成和验证软件的工具混合技术系统：如何跨可能共存于同一信息系统中的潜在混合纳米技术进行接口。
