IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits

Scope

The IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) is designed for rapid publication of results across the areas of solid-state materials, devices, and circuits for novel computation (logic, memory, and communication) beyond the limits of conventional CMOS technology. The scope of the JXCDC is not limited to digital information processing, rather it also encompasses non-Boolean computation - including analog, neuromorphic computation, and novel concepts in computer automata. It is envisioned that these exploratory methods of computation could augment CMOS-based information processing. Manuscripts are solicited in the areas of materials, devices, and circuits that transcend hierarchical boundaries to foster co-design enabling significant improvement in computational performance and energy efficiency. Manuscripts covering new materials must show a device application with computational performance impact. Manuscripts on devices must show potential to enable new integrated circuit architectures for improved computational performance and energy. Manuscripts on computation circuits and systems must be based on viable exploratory devices. By its nature, the JXCDC is a publication that connects researchers across the design abstraction hierarchy of materials, devices, circuits, architectures, systems, and algorithms. It is a selective, archival publication that scientists and engineers can read to follow developments in beyond-CMOS technology for energy-efficient computation, and communication.
