Guest Editorial Special Issue on the 2018 International Symposium on Integrated Circuits and Systems

THIS special issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ONCIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS-Part I: Regular Papers(TCAS-I) includes papers presented at the International Symposiumon Integrated Circuits and Systems (ISICAS), heldon 2-3 September 2018 in Taormina, Italy. This is a newinitiative of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS)and the first edition of the symposium, which includes aselection of original works in very diverse areas of integratedcircuits and systems, describing integrated implementationswith experimental results. In contrast to conventional symposiaand conferences, ISICAS is a Journal Track Symposium whichdoes not produce proceedings. Instead, the papers presented atthe conference are published in two journal special issues. Oneof them is the issue that you are holding, and the other is aspecial issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS ANDSYSTEMS-Part II: Express Briefs (TCAS-II). The technicalprogram of the conference is, therefore, made up of thosepapers that have been accepted for publication in these specialissues of TCAS-I and TCAS-II.
