From the EIC: From Smartphones to Wearable Devices

摘要

This issue of Design&Test focuses on design and test of distributed systems. According to the heterogeneous nature, such systems will need heterogeneous computing resources to satisfy a wide variety of often contradicting design constraints such as low power, which makes designing them a particularly complex task. Besides two surveys, one titled "A Survey on Energy Management for Mobile and loT Devices" and another titled "Dynamic Energy and Thermal Management of Multicore Mobile Platforms: A Survey," the Guest Editors Umit Y. Ogras, Sudeep Pasricha, Michael Kishinevsky, and Raid Ayoub present us four regular special issue research articles. We would like to thank the Guest Editors for this timely special issue.
