Second Call for Papers
Journal of Multiple-Valued Logic and Soft Computing
Special Issue: Multiple-Valued Logic Minimization Techniques
Guest Editor: Mostafa Abd-El-Barr
CALL FOR PAPERS
MVLIJ creates a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners
throughout the world to present the latest research, results,
and
ideas in the field of multiple-valued logic. This special issue
provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians
and practitioners to address the important issues in
multiple-valued logic functions minimization.
Original papers (including Review papers) on the subject of
MVL Function Minimization are invited for publication
in the special issue. Topics on this issue should be limited to
different aspects and techniques for Multiple-valued Logic Functions
Minimization and may include, but not limited to, the following:
- Exact Minimization Techniques
- Heuristic Minimization Techniques, e.g. Direct-cover
- Decomposition-based Minimization Techniques
- Iterative Algorithms for Minimization of MVL Functions
- Technology Oriented Minimization Techniques
- Cost-Table Based Minimization Techniques
- Decision Diagram based Minimization Techniques
- Minimization of Multi-Valued Multi-Threshold Functions
- Other related techniques
Submission of Papers
Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance,
correctness and clarity of presentation. Papers should present
original work, which has not been submitted nor published in other
journals.
Five copies of the paper (maximum 30 pages double-spaced including
figures) should be received by March 15, 2000 (extended to June
15, 2000).
For each author,
including the corresponding author, provide name, affiliation,
full
address, telephone, fax numbers and email address. Please
include keywords to indicate the area of the paper.
Notification of acceptance and authors kits will be mailed by
August 31,
2000. The final manuscripts are due by Oct. 31, 2000.
