Special Issue on
Memory Architecture and Organization for Embedded Systems
The ESWeek Memory Architecture and Organization Workshop (MeAOW) is an international forum that addresses research to model, analyze, design and evaluate novel memory management techniques at varying abstraction levels for evolving and novel memory technologies. Since memory technologies are evolving rapidly, many new storage opportunities demand novel memory architectures, organizations and management strategies to effectively leverage their unique features. Newer memories, such as Phase Changing Memory (PCM), STT-RAM, Memristor, embedded-RAM, etc., have their unique advantages as well as disadvantages. Often they exhibit read and write asymmetry, where a write operation may incur a large latency and consume significantly more energy than a read operation. The wear-out characteristics, density, ambient operational conditions and other parameters may require novel memory organizations and software/hardware management support to leverage the benefits of these new memory technologies.
To help promote the work presented at MeAOW, Springer DAES invites authors of MeAOW 2012 and MeAOW 2013 to submit an extended version of their paper to DAES for inclusion in this special issue. Besides MeAOW
2012 & 2013, other high-quality submissions that fit the topics of the special issue are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel memory architecture and design
- Energy efficient memory architecture and management
- Non-volatile Memory(NVM) / Storage Class Memory(SLM) architecture and management
- Flash Memory management
- Operating System and Embedded software support for Memory Management
- Compilation techniques for non-volatile memory
- Hardware-Software Codesign for novel memory architectures
Authors should submit their journal version at DAES website adhering to the formatting instructions on the DAES web pages and indicate that you are submitting to the "Special Issue on Memory Architecture and Organization for Embedded Systems" on the first page and in the field "Author's Cover Letter:" For additional questions please send email to:
