About the journal
The IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems is published as a quarterly journal under the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies require close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems have been founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize and merit the novel systems integration aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among systems design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and systems level qualification. Thus, the coverage of this Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems integration.
Topics of special interest include, but are not strictly limited to, the following:
Systems Specifications, Design and Partitioning
System-Level Test
Reliable VLSI/ULSI Systems
High Performance Computing and Communication Systems
Wafer Scale Integration and Multichip Modules (MCMs)
High-Speed Interconnects in Microelectronic Systems
VLSI/ULSI Neural Networks and Their Applications
Adaptive Computing Systems with FPGA components
Mixed Analog/Digital Systems
Cost, Performance Tradeoffs of VLSI/ULSI Systems
Adaptive Computing Using Reconfigurable Components (FPGAs
Instructions to Authors
Scope: Your paper must fall within the scope of TVLSI as outlined in Scope and Call for Papers. You may also wish to review issues of TVLSI to see if other papers similar in scope to yours have been published. If you still have questions, you may contact the Editor-in-Chief.
Title: Select a succinct yet unique title for your work that expresses the essence of the paper and its contribution. Try to restrict the title to one line of 56 or fewer characters.
Authors and Affiliation: List all authors and affiliations at the time the work was conducted. Use complete names rather than just initials. Give email addresses of the authors.
Abstract: Write an abstract of about 100 words to summarize your paper and its unique contribution.
Keywords: Select between four and eight keywords from the list provided. If you cannot locate at least four, then your paper may not fall within the scope of TVLSI.
Content: Begin your paper with an introduction that provides some basic definitions, motivation for the work and an overview of the organization of the paper. Then partition the presentation into four or five sections to help the reader understand what you are trying to say. In the final section, give your conclusions so that the reader will grasp the significance of the work.
References: List references in the order in which they are cited in the text. References should follow the standard IEEE format.
Page Length and Spacing: All papers should be single-spaced and formatted into two columns (see note that follows).
A regular paper should be about 8 pages long, including figures. This length is about twice that of a conference paper so you should be able to provide a more detailed description of your work. Any paper significantly exceeding 8 pages will not be reviewed.
A brief paper should be about 3 pages long, including figures.
Once accepted, photographs and biographies of all the authors will be published at the end of a regular paper, but not with a brief paper.
Note: Papers submitted for review need not be in single-spaced double-column format. You can use this format to verify that the manuscript does not exceed the page limit. A double-spaced format allows the reviewer more room for annotation.
Page Style and Format: Each paper must adhere to the specifications given below.

Postscript Generation: Electronic submission of a postscript file of the entire paper including figures is greatly preferred since it will speed the review process. If you cannot do so, physical hardcopies will be accepted as described below.
To generate the postscript file, first be sure that you have a postscript driver installed and selected. Also, be sure that you include in the file itself all fonts necessary for printing. Select "Letter" size paper. Do not select "manual feed." Submit the resulting file using binary FTP as described later. If necessary to send via email, compress and uuencode the file.
Electronic Source File: Once your paper is accepted, you will be asked to submit the source file electronically. This will reduce significantly the likelihood of errors being generated in the typesetting process and help hold down the costs of publication.
Copyright Form: All clearances for publication must be obtained by the author(s) and the IEEE Copyright form with original signature(s) submitted. You need not submit this form until your paper has been accepted.
