Journal of Embedded Computing (JEC)
Contents
The JEC is a refereed international journal, initially publishes 6
issues per year, providing an international forum to report, discuss and
exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress,
experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas. Papers should be of a
quality that represents the state-of-the-art and the latest advances in
time-to-market, cost, code size, weight, testability, power, real-time
behavior, and stimulating future trends.
Subject Coverage:
The JEC
covers all aspects of the embedded computing. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
1. Embedded Hardware Support:
System-on-a-chip, DSPs,
hardware specification, synthesis, modeling, simulation and analysis at all
levels for low power, power-aware, testable, reliable, verifiable systems,
performance modeling, validation, security issues, real-time behavior, and
safety critical systems, etc.
2. Embedded Software:
Compilers, assemblers and cross assemblers, programming, memory management,
object-oriented aspects, virtual machines, scheduling, concurrent software for
SoCs, distributed/resource aware OS, OS and middleware support, etc.
3. Embedded System Architecture:
Heterogeneous
multiprocessors, reconfigurable platforms, memory management support,
communication, protocols, network-on-chip, real-time systems, and embedded
microcontrollers, etc.
4. Hardware/Software Co-design:
Methodologies, test and debug strategies, real-time systems, interaction
between architecture and software design, specification and modeling, design
representation, synthesis, partitioning, estimation, design space exploration
beyond traditional hardware/software boundary, theory and algorithms,
etc.
