The Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Editor-in-Chief (+deputy) Earl E. Swartzlander University of Texas, USA S.Y. Kung Princeton University, USA AIMS AND SCOPE The Journal of VLSI Signal Processing publishes research and survey papers on the design and implementation of signal processing systems with VLSI circuits. It is distributed to engineers, researchers and educators in the fields of VLSI design and signal processing. The key subject areas of interest to the journal of VLSI Signal Processing are: - design and analysis of signal processing algorithms and architecture - performance analysis (including measurement, modeling, and simulation) of signal processing systems - VLSI design methodology (including silicon compilation) - design of arithmetic circuits and VLSI components used in signal processing (such as multipliers, dividers, and digital filter sections) - specialized number systems (including on-line arithmetic, residue number systems, and logarithmic number systems) - application of advanced technology (e.g., WSI, ECL, GaAs, etc.) to signal processing - generic and programmable processors - special purpose signal processor architectures (including parallel and pipelined signal processors) - systolic/wave front arrays - neural nets Abstracted/Ondexed in: INSPEC Information Services; Artificial Intelligence Abstracts; Engineering Index; ACM Computing Reviews; COMPENDEX Lus Database; ACM Guide to Computing Literature. `The material in the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing is of high standard, with contributions from many of the well-known individuals and organizations in the field' Nature, Vol. 347, Oct. 1990. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit high quality original work which has not appeared (nor is under consideration) in other journals, transactions or books. SUBMISSION 1. Send five copies of the manuscript to the Coordinating Editor at the following address: Judy Kemp Kluwer Academic Publishers 101 Philip Drive Assinippi Park Norwell, MA 02061 U.S.A. Alternatively, manuscripts may be sent to any member of the Editorial Board. The copies should be typed, double spaced on one side of 8.5 by 11 inch sheets only. Typeset, laser printed, typewritten, or good quality copies are acceptable provided that they are sharp, clean, and of good contrast. A separate set of original camera ready illustrations should accompany the manuscript. 2. In the case of previously published material, the author is responsible for obtaining the necessary copyright releases. In all cases, the author must obtain all necessary institution and/or government clearances prior to submission. Revisions of material published previously in limited distribution workshop, symposium, and conference proceedings will be considered, provided that the previous publication is identified at the time of submission. The author is responsible for obtaining written permission to reproduce any material that has appeared in another publication. 3. The copyright of all papers published in the Journal will be vested in the publisher. The transfer of copyright agreement must be executed and signed by the author (or the author's employer, if appropriate) before publication. 4. A cover letter should accompany each submission indicating the name, address and telephone number of the author to whom all correspondence should be sent. 5. All submissions will be reviewed by anonymous referees prior to acceptance. 6. Quick publication decisions can be achieved if manuscripts are prepared according to the following instructions. MANUSCRIPTS 1. Manuscripts should be limited to thirty pages of text with no more than fifteen pages of artwork. 2. Each manuscript should be complete with a 100 to 250 word abstract which will be printed at the beginning of the paper. 3. The author affiliation and complete mailing address should be listed at the beginning of the manuscript. Acknowledgement of support, if appropriate should be provided in a separate section at the end of manuscript. 4. The use of footnotes is strongly discouraged; the material should be included as parenthetical material in the text wherever possible. 5. References should be numbered and listed in order of citation in a separate section at the end of the paper, with citations by numbers in square brackets (e.g., [1], [2], etc.). Style for papers: Author (initials and surname), "Paper Title," Journal Title, volume number, date, page numbers. For example: J. Fox, G. Surace, and P.A. Thomas, "A Self-Testing 2? CMOS Chip Set for FFT Applications," IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, vol. SC-22, 1987, pp. 15-19. Style for books: Author, Book Title, location, publisher, date, chapter or page numbers (if desired). For example: P.M. Kogge, The Architecture of Pipelined Computers, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1981. ILLUSTRATIONS 1. Original illustrations should be laser printer output or India ink on paper. Original illustrations should be submitted on separate sheets of paper following the text. When illustrations are shown within the text, original art must be provided. Illustrations should be sharp, clean, and of reasonable contrast on 8.5 by 11-inch or smaller sheets. 2. Number all artwork on the back or bottom. Indicate the preferred orientation. 3. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints. 4. Graphs should show only the coordinate axes with tick marks (or at most a few grid lines). Lettering and lines should be large enough to permit significant reduction. 5. Provide a list of all table and figure captions on a separate sheet. The captions should be in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 2. Logic diagram of the parallel multiplier." TECHNICAL BIOGRAPHY Enclose a brief technical biography and photograph of each author. PROOFING Page proofs will be sent to the first named author for proofing. The proofread copy should be returned to Publisher within 72 hours. REPRINTS The first named author will be entitled to fifty free reprints of each paper. All authors will receive complimentary copies of the issue containing their paper. ************************************ * SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION: * ************************************ ***Ordering options: 1.
