IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing  
Special Issue/Section, Second Issue of 2017

The continuing scaling of silicon-based microelectronic technology, as well as the emergence of new, non-silicon-based technologies, enable increasing system complexity and performance, paving the way to applications which had been unthinkable a few years ago. At the same time, an ever-increasing amount of data needs to be stored and accessed quickly, posing new challenges to memory systems and storage elements. 

IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue/Section on Emerging Trends and Design Paradigms for Memory Systems and Storage covering the entire spectrum of relevant research activities, from manufacturing to test, which is scheduled to appear in the second issue of 2017. All aspects of manufacturing, design, test, reliability, resilience and availability of memory systems and storage are of interest, including but not limited to:

Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. 

An extended version of the article appearing in any conference proceedings can be submitted provided that it has substantially new content w.r.t. to the original conference version. The conference paper must be cited in the main text and the cover letter must clearly describe the differences with the conference version and clearly identify the new contributions.
