<br>
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers (<strong>TCAS-I</strong>) seeks submissions for the upcoming Special Issue on <a href="https://ieee-cas.org/pubs/tcas1/call-papers-special-issue-circuits-and-systems-emerging-computing-paradigms">"<strong>Circuits and Systems For Emerging Computing Paradigms</strong>"</a>.<br>

As Dennard’s law is coming to an end, on-chip power consumption reduction and throughput improvement due to technology scaling pose serious challenges; workloads of today’s applications (such as AI, Big Data, and IoT) have also reached extremely high levels of complex computation. Power dissipation has become the fundamental barrier to scale computing performance across all technology platforms. Computation at nanosclaes requires innovative approaches. Moreover, many emerging computing paradigms have been widely studied (e.g., approximate, stochastic, neuromorphic, in-memory), mostly at system level to alleviate the encountered hurdles; however, their successful evolution necessitates implementations that require efficient circuits in a multitude of modules (such as memory, arithmetic, and control). Substantial challenges still remain also at architectural and system levels. Although bridging of technology with circuit design has attracted significant attention from academic and industrial communities in the past decade, it still requires considerable efforts to accomplish implementations that are energy-efficient and high-performance for systems in diverse computing applications.<br>
