                       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:

The IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits has been published for 
the past twenty-five years by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council 
on behalf of nine Groups and Societies within the IEEE.  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.
