IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing publishes papers on emerging aspects of computer science, computing technology, and computing applications not currently covered by other IEEE Computer Society transactions.

Additional Information

TETC is a special sections-based journal. Our authors have the option to submit papers to a current special section or to the continuous call for papers on some specific emerging topics of interest to the journal, called “technical tracks”. Please check the current ongoing special sections; highly reputed researchers interested in proposing a special section, please check the guidelines and template here.

The most recent and current list of emerging topics in computing currently covered by the continuous call for papers is reported on the Technical Tracks Call for Papers page. All submissions not in the scope of the special issue or the technical tracks will not be considered by the journal.

All TETC articles dating back to the first 2013 issue will be indexed and abstracted in:

    Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®)
    Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition
    Current Contents®/Engineering Computing and Technology

Special Issue on Emerging Computing Architectures, Technologies and Applications for Smart Robotics Systems (ECATA4SRS-2024)
Submission Date: 2024-09-30

Authors are invited to submit a manuscript to the special section on Emerging Computing Architectures, Technologies and Applications for Smart Robotics Systems (ECATA4SRS-2024). Relevant topics of interest to this special section include (but are not limited to):

    Emerging computing-based systems: modelling, navigation, control and environmental perception for smart robotics systems.
    Computing models and architectures for the implementation of cyber physical systems and digital twin to enable smart robotics and autonomous systems. 
    Safety-critical computing systems.
    Theoretical and empirical data analytics and real-time decision making with robots-in-the-loop.
    Architectures and applications for social and cognitive computing in smart robotics systems, i.e., human-robot collaboration, humanoid robots, swarm robots, etc.
    Custom computing architectures for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) used in smart robotics systems.
    Emerging computing architectures, applications and topics in support to real world smart robotics systems.

Submission Guidelines

Submitted papers must include new significant research-based technical contributions in the scope of the journal. Purely theoretical, technological or lacking methodological-and-generality papers are not suitable to this thematic section. The submissions must include clear evaluations of the proposed solutions (based on simulation and/or implementations results) and comparisons to state-of-the-art solutions. For additional information please contact the Guest Editors by sending an email exclusively to tetc.smart.robotics@gmail.com

Papers under review elsewhere are not acceptable for submission. Extended versions of published conference papers (to be included as part of the submission together with a summary of differences) are welcome but there must have at least 40% of new impacting technical/scientific material in the submitted journal version and there should be less than 50% verbatim similarity level as reported by a tool (such as CrossRef). Guidelines concerning the submission process, LaTeX and Word templates can be found here. While submitting through ScholarOne. please select the option “Special Section on Applications of Emerging Computing Technologies to Smart Robotics and Autonomous Systems (ECATA4SRS-2024)“. As per TETC policies, only full-length papers (10-16 pages with technical material, double-column – papers beyond 12 pages will be subject to MOPC, as per CS policies) can be submitted to special/thematic sections. References should not exceed 45 items and each Author’s bio should not exceed 150 words. Authors are also invited to comply with the journal’s policies about the maximum number of self-references.
