Journal Guide

IET Computers & Digital Techniques publishes technical papers on recent research and development work in all aspects of digital system-on-chip design and test of electronic and embedded systems, including the development of design automation tools (methodologies, algorithms and architectures). It also publishes papers based on the problems associated with the scaling down of CMOS technology. The key subject areas covered include: • Design: Hardware description languages, high-level and architectural synthesis, hardware/software co-design, platform-based design, system-on-chip architectures and IP cores, embedded systems, logic synthesis, low-power design and power optimisation • Verification: Electrical and timing simulation, hardware/software co-simulation, mixed-domain technology modelling and simulation, power analysis and estimation, interconnect modelling and signal integrity analysis • Test: Design-for-testability, embedded core testing, system-on-chip testing, on-line testing, test quality and reliability, microprocessor testing, low-power testing, fault modelling and fault tolerance, automatic test generation and delay testing • Processor and system architectures: General-purpose and application specific processors, computational arithmetic for DSP applications, arithmetic and logic units, cache memories, memory management, co-processors and accelerators, systems and networks on chip, embedded cores, platforms, multiprocessors, distributed systems, communication protocols and low-power issues • Configurable computing: Embedded cores, FPGAs, rapid prototyping, adaptive computing, evolvable and reconfigurable hardware • Case studies: State-of-the-art CAD/EDA tools, applications in industrial designs, and design frameworks

IT Professional is a technical magazine of the IEEE Computer Society. It publishes peer-reviewed articles, columns and departments written for and by IT practitioners and researchers covering:

• practical aspects of emerging and leading-edge digital technologies,
• original ideas and guidance for IT applications, and
• novel IT solutions for the enterprise.

IT Professional’s goal is to inform the broad spectrum of IT executives, IT project managers, IT researchers, and IT application developers from industry, government, and academia.

The journal is intended to present within a single forum all of the developments in the field of multi-sensor, multi-source, multi-process information fusion and thereby promote the synergism among the many disciplines that are contributing to its growth. The journal is the premier vehicle for disseminating information on all aspects of research and development in the field of information fusion. Articles are expected to emphasize one or more of the three facets: architectures, algorithms, and applications. Papers dealing with fundamental theoretical analyses as well as those demonstrating their application to real-world problems will be welcome. The journal publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles, in all areas related to the information fusion arena including, but not limited to, the following suggested topics:• Data/Image, Feature, Decision, and Multilevel Fusion • Multi-classifier/Decision Systems• Multi-Look Temporal Fusion• Multi-Sensor, Multi-Source Fusion System Architectures• Distributed and Wireless Sensor Networks• Higher Level Fusion Topics Including Situation Awareness And Management • Multi-Sensor Management and Real-Time Applications• Adaptive And Self-Improving Fusion System Architectures• Active, Passive, And Mixed Sensor Suites• Multi-Sensor And Distributed Sensor System Design• Fusion Learning In Imperfect, Imprecise And Incomplete Environments• Intelligent Techniques For Fusion Processing• Fusion System Design And Algorithmic Issues• Fusion System Computational Resources and Demands Optimization• Special Purpose Hardware Dedicated To Fusion Applications• Mining Remotely Sensed Multi-Spectral/Hyper-Spectral Image Data Bases• Information Fusion Applications in Intrusion Detection, Network Security, Information Security and Assurance arena• Applications such as Robotics, Space, Bio-medical, Transportation, Economics, and Financial Information Systems• Real-World Issues such as Computational Demands, Real-Time Constraints in the context of Fusion systems.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
