ubiquitous and intelligent embedded systems (VSI:UIES20)

Ubiquitous and intelligence embedded represents a new generation of smart cooperative objects that are equipped with AI software/hardware to enable a wide range of intelligent environments, e.g. smart cities, intelligent manufacturing, ambient assisted living, autonomous driving, just name of few. This results in the urgent and pressing needs of divergent intelligent embedded systems to fit into those specific working contexts with more scalability at multiple designing dimensions of models and systems. However, the system-level strong coupling of resource-hungry AI and resource-constrained embedded platform addresses new computing issues on how to make full usage of limited hardware to support energy efficient AI systems and how to efficiently migrate traditional intelligent algorithms to on-edge devices. Designing such ubiquitous and intelligent embedded systems also brings many challenging research issues of domain-specific optimization in software/hardware, such as intelligent sensor, 5G communication, IoT, industrial internet, system reliability, and so on. The goal of this special issue is to design smart embedded systems beyond the in-hand standards and technologies and deploy intelligence to the any places they need.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Design of intelligent embedded systems
• Lightweight deep learning for IoTs
• Low-power design for intelligent embedded systems
• Credible embedded systems
• Ubiquitous computing and context-ware computing
• Heterogeneous multi-core system design
• Design of system-level software for embedded systems
• On-edge computing
• CPS and IoTs
• Embedded vision
• SW/HW co-design
• Real-time scheduling model and algorithm for embedded AI
• Applications for embedded systems (consumer electronics, 5G communication, manufacturing, aerospace engineering, health-care)

All original manuscripts that fit within the scope are welcome. Authors of papers presented at the ESTC-2020″ are especially encouraged to submit to this SI.

Submission details:

General information for submitting papers to JSA can be found at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-architecture. Submissions should be made online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jsa/. Please select the “VSI:UIES20” option as the type of the paper during the submission process. Please direct all enquiries regarding this SI to Prof. Duo Liu and Prof. Bing Guo.

JSA has adopted the Virtual Special Issue model to speed up the publication process, where Special Issue papers are published in regular issues, but marked as SI papers. Acceptance decisions are made on a rolling basis. Therefore, authors are encouraged to submit papers early, and need not wait until the submission deadline.
