IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques
Special Issue on:
Asynchronous Processors
First call for papers:
A special issue of the IEE Proceedings on Computers and Digital Techniques
on Asynchronous Processors is planned for mid 1996.
Work on asynchronous processors has advanced significantly over recent years,
and this special issue is intended to reflect the current state-of-the-art.
Original papers are solicited on topics relevant to the theme of the special
issue, including (but not restricted to):
- New asynchronous processor designs
- Novel architectures for asynchronous implementation
- Design techniques and tools applicable to asynchronous processors
- Verification and production test methodologies for asynchronous processors
- Asynchronous processor support components
Review papers or tutorial expositions will also be accepted where they are of
the highest standards.

IEE PROCEEDINGS - GUIDE TO AUTHORS
-
1 Language
-
To ensure the widest possible readership, papers must be written in
English.
-
2 Typescript
-
The complete typescript, i.e. Abstract, text of the paper, list of
References and captions to illustrations, should be typed with double
line spacing on one side of the paper only.
-
3 Number of copies
-
For the purpose of refereeing and editing, the IEE requires five
copies of a paper, and where authors can supply this number without
undue inconvenience or expense, they are asked to do so.
-
4 Affiliations of authors
-
The affiliation and full postal address of each author should be
typed on a separate sheet and submitted with the paper.
-
5 Abstracts
-
Each paper should be accompanied by an abstract suitable for
publication with the paper.
-
6 Photographs and illustrations
-
Photographs are welcomed. Illustrations enclosed when a paper is
first submitted need not be suitable for reproduction, but they must
be clear for the purpose of refereeing. The authors should obtain
from the owners of the copyright written permission to reproduce any
illustration for which the copyright is not his/her own. The source
of the illustration must be given in full and the words 'Reproduced
by permission of .....' included with the illustration.
-
7 References
-
Other publications referred to in the text should be indicated by a
number. Details of the References should be given in a list at the
end of the paper.
In each of the References, please make sure that the following
are given:
(a) names of all the authors (i.e. not 'et al.')
(b) title of the paper
(c) full title of the journal
(d) year of publication and volume number
(e) first and last page numbers.
For a book, the author, book title, publisher and year of publication
should be stated.
-
8 Length
-
Papers should not normally exceed six or seven printed pages
[approximately 12-16 double spaced A4 pages (or 3000 words) plus
10-14 illustrations]. Short papers shoud not exceed three printed
pages [approximately 1500 words with 5 to 10 references and three or
four illustrations].
-
9 Peer review
-
All papers are rigorously refereed. It is our policy to ensure that
a decision to publish or not is made within six months for no less
than 90% of the papers submitted. Only in very exceptional
circumstances does a paper remain under consideration for more than
twelve months. It is our usual practice that authors are informed of
the progress of their paper within six months.
Scope of IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques
(NOTE: the full scope of the Proceedings is included here; the Special
Issue has a restricted scope as outlined above.)
The Journal is devoted to computers and information systems in the
broadest sense, covering digital techniques, processor architectures,
networks, parallel and distributed systems. Topics include formal and
other design methodologies including CAD for both software and
hardware (or both), computer architecture and networks (including
protocols and cryptography). Papers may focus on theory, design,
simulation or modelling, although theoretical papers will be only be
accepted, where application or potential application of that theory
is evident from the manuscript submitted.
Papers in logic design, synthesis and design methods, the traditional
backbone of this part of the Proceedings, will still be welcomed, but
increasingly it is expected that issues such as harware/software
co-design, software engineering, computer architecture and higher
level issues such as those found in distributed information systems,
multimedia applications and the networks which support them will
become more predominant.
Papers must present original work, from either industrial or academic
laboratories. Applications papers need not necessarily involve new
theory, but may describe applications of existing techniques in new
or novel situations. Review papers or tutorial expositions will also
be accepted but only where such papers are of the highest standards.
The editors aim to provide a rapid and effective means of
communication between engineers working in all aspects of computer
and information systems engineering.
