ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING is an archival peer
reviewed journal publishing research and tutorial papers on the design and
applications of analog integrated circuits and signal processing circuits
and systems. It is published quarterly with worldwide distribution to
engineers, researchers, educators, and libraries.
The Journal aims to promote and expedite the dissemination of new research
results and tutorial views in the analog field. There is an exciting and
large volume of research activity in the field worldwide. Researchers are
striving to bridge the gap between classical analog work and recent
advances in very large scale integration (VLSI) technologies with improved
analog capabilities. Analog VLSI has been recognized as a major
technology for future information processing. Analog work is showing
signs of dramatic changes with emphasis on interdisciplinary research
efforts combining device/circuit/technology issues. Consequently, new
design concepts, strategies and design tools are being unveiled.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Analog Interface Circuits Analog Artificial Neural Networks/
and Systems Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Design Current-mode Signal Processing
(CAD) Tools
Data Converters Analog Design in emerging
technologies (Scalable CMOS, BICMOS,
Active-RC, Switched- GaAs, Heterojunction and floating
Capacitor and Continuous- gate technologies...etc.)
time integrated filters
Mixed Analog/Digital VLSI Analog Design for Test
Integrated sensors and Simulation and modeling, mixed-
actuators mode simulation
Analog Design Automation/ Analog nonlinear and computational
Knowledge-based Systems circuits and signal processing
Analog VLSI cell libraries Analog product development

ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
An International Journal
Instructions for Authors
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has
neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals.
Papers which have previously appeared in conference proceedings will also
be considered for publication, however, this should be indicated at the
time of submission.
PROCESS FOR SUBMISSION
1. Authors should submit five hard copies of their final manuscript to:
Mrs. Karen S. Cullen
ALOG - Editorial Office
Kluwer Academic Publishers
101 Philip Drive
Norwell, MA 02061
Tel.:617-871-6300
FAX:617-871-6528
For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this
address.
2. Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five
key words.
3. Enclose originals for the illustrations, in the style described
below, for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures
may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript.
Alternatively, original illustrations may be submitted after the
paper has been accepted.
4. Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact
author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a
telephone number and a fax number.
5. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT
1. Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser
printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).
2. Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of
100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should
be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key
ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with
the article.
3. Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes,
beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered
footnotes. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if
appropriate.
4. References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of
the paper. References should be complete, in the following style:
Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each
author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page
numbers, month and year.
Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, year,
chapter or page numbers (if desired).
Examples as follows:
(Book) D. Marr, Vision, A Computational Investigation into the Human
Representation & Processing of Visual Information, Freeman: San
Francisco, CA, 1982.
(Journal Article) A. Rosenfeld and M. Thurston, "Edge and curve
detection for visual scene analysis," IEEE Trans. Comput. vol. C.-20
pp. 562-569, 1971.
(Conference Proceedings) A. Witkin, "Scales space filtering," in
Proc. Int. Joint Conf. Artif. Intell., Karlsruhe, West Germany,
1983, pp. 1019-1021.
(Lab. memo.) A. L. Yuille and T. Poggio, "Scaling theorems for zero
crossings," M.I.T. Artif. Intell. Lab., Massachusetts Inst.
Technol., Cambridge, MA, A. I. Memo. 722, 1983.
5. Type or mark mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear
in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows:
variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman
text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy
underline). In world-processor manuscripts, use appropriate
typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations
are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All
letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be
italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they
will not fit on one line.
STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS
1. Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good
contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
2. Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on
paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 by 11-inch size sheets if possible, to
simplify handling of the manuscript.
3. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered
consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location
of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a
separate page following the text.
4. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label
any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term
"figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired
location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a
separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each
table.
5. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
6. Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation,
and any reasonable size.
7. Number each original on the back.
8. Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper
style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of the fault
coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential
circuits."
PROOFING
Page proofs for articles to be included in a journal issue will be sent
to the contact author for proofing, unless otherwise informed. The
proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours.
