------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS FIRST SPECIAL ISSUE on MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEMS Microelectronic systems must be specified at every level of abstraction including the system, behavioral, register, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels. To address this growing area, a series of Special Issues is being planned as a forum for original papers which emphasize the INTERACTIONS among the various aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among system design, logic circuit design, memory design, architecture, CAD tools, testing, physical design, VLSI technology and semiconductor processes. Thus, its scope will include all aspects of the design and implementation of microelectronic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not strictly limited to, the following: * Partitioning Designs over Multiple Levels of Packaging * Economical Architectures for Wafer Scale Integration * Interactions Between Architecture and Process Technology * Analog Neural Networks Using Subthreshold CMOS * Area, Time, I/O and Energy Tradeoffs of VLSI Systems Prospective authors are requested to submit five copies of the complete manuscript of 7 to 15 double-spaced typewritten pages, plus up to 10 pages of figures. Shorter papers of 6 or less pages and up to 3 pages of figures will be considered for publication as correspondence. To be considered for the May, 1991 special issue, manuscripts should be sent by September 15, 1990 to the Guest Editor: Prof. Donald W.

In response to an initiative from the Computer and Circuits & Systems Societies, the Council has authorized a series of Special Issues on Microelectronic Systems if the demand warrants. The intent is to establish a consistent forum for this field which unifies advances in many disciplines. Members of the sponsoring IEEE Societies may subscribe to this Journal for $14 per year which will be published monthly beginning in 1991.
