Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing efficient and reliable digital systems demands hardware/software co-design and co-simulation. Reconfigurable hardware/software co-design techniques target programmable systems-on-chip (PSoC) and involve integration of programmable logic (FPGA), general-purpose processors, and interconnection buses on one chip. Frequently, other core components are involved such as DSP structures, memory blocks, graphics processing units, etc. The majority of methods of designing embedded digital systems rely on a separation of software and hardware parts of the future system at early stages (usually during the specification phase). Once the separation is done, software and hardware are developed independently and, typically, by different people/teams. Such a priori separation has a number of limitations (e.g. time to market, suboptimal designs) which are better addressed if the interrelated software and hardware are developed simultaneously. Moreover, hardware/software co-simulation techniques contribute for better testing and diagnosis of system’s faults before they become a problem.
This Special Issue aims at discussing the efficient development of reconfigurable hardware/software systems, the parameters that need to be taken into account, the appropriate technologies, programming languages and compilers. The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that present and discuss the recent advances in the development of reconfigurable hardware/software systems, especially focusing on application successes.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Co-design methods, tools, and compilers for reconfigurable hardware/software systems
- Algorithms implemented on reconfigurable hardware/sowtware
- Reconfigurable computing applications
Education for reconfigurable hardware/software systems including courses, teaching and training experience, lab equipment, design and applications

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
