Foreword: Special Section on Addressing Signal and Power Integrity in Future Generation Systems—Part 2: Modeling Considerations

This Special Section is a collection of six articles highlighting the main directions that the researchers from academia and industry are exploring for managing signal and power integrity (SPI) through advanced modeling techniques. A previous Special Section (Part 1) on Addressing Signal and Power Integrity in Future Generation Systems presented eight papers in the two main categories of technological and design aspects. As in Part 1, the authors were selected by looking at the best papers presented at two major IEEE conferences dedicated to SPI topics that were held annually in the United States (EPEPS2015, San Jose, CA, USA) and Europe (SPI2016, Turin, Italy). Together, these two Special Sections give a good overview of leading research in advancing SPI in systems.
