About the journal
The Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) is part of the family of journals produced by the ACM, the First Society in Computing.
NOTE: Starting in 1998, published issues which are available on the ACM Digital Library Server will not be available here. Only accepted papers as electronic pre-prints will be here. You will have to have a subscription to access published issues.
The ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) publishes recent significant results of research and development efforts in the area of design automation of electronic systems. (See the Editorial Charter for further details.) The journal will provide a comprehensive coverage of innovative works concerning the specification, design, analysis, simulation, testing, and evaluation of very large scale integrated electronic systems, emphasizing a computer science/engineering orientation.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- System Design:
- Hardware description languages, design systems and databases, embedded systems, hardware/software co-design
- High-Level Synthesis:
- Datapath/control synthesis and optimization
- Logic Synthesis:
- Sequential and combinational synthesis and optimization, technology mapping
- Physical Layout:
- Module generation, partitioning, floorplanning, placement, routing, compaction, layout verification
- Design Verification:
- Formal methods, emulation, simulation, electrical and timing analysis
- System Reliability:
- Fault tolerance, testing and test patterns generation, design for testability
- High Performance Circuits:
- High frequency, low power, analog and mixed-signal circuits
Instructions to Authors
Types of Papers
TODAES will publish research papers (approximately 10-15 printed pages each), tutorial and survey papers (approximately 20-30 printed pages each), and short technical notes (no more than 5 printed pages each).
Prior Publication Policy
The technical contributions appearing in ACM journals are normally original papers which have not been published elsewhere. Widely disseminated conference proceedings and newsletters are a form of publication, although they are usually only semiarchival and often unrefereed. Publication, or republication, of a (perhaps revised) paper which has been widely disseminated is permitted only if the editor judges that (a) the revision contains significant amplification or clarification of the original material or (b) there is a significant additional benefit to be gained from journal publication. In either case, any prior appearance should be noted on the title page of the paper.
Manuscript Preparation
Authors are required to prepare and submit their manuscripts electronically. This facilitates both a quicker editorial review process as well as facilitating electronic publication of accepted papers.
While ACM admits a wide variety of formats for the electronic submission of accepted papers, the emerging technologies which support electronic publishing currently force us to impose some restrictions on submission for both review and final acceptance of manuscripts. Therefore for purposes of editorial review, TODAES permits electronic submissions only in PDF or PostScript format.
While it is not a requirement, for both privacy and efficiency, authors are encouraged to send their PDF or PostScript files via email as uuencoded gzipped PostScript.
TODAES authors should familiarize themselves with the ACM accepted manuscript preparation guidelines. Since these guidelines are in a state of transition with regard to electronic publication, the guidelines here take precedence whenever there is a conflict. Authors preparing manuscripts in Latex should (for now) use the Proposed JACM Article Formats style. We will soon have our own style guides which addresses more of the specific needs for electronic publishing.
Please see Formatting Documents For Electronic Publication below.
To ensure proper indexing, classification, retrieval and dissemination, authors must include the following in the manuscript.
- Descriptive title
- Author names and affiliations
- Abstract
- Content indicators
- Citations to relevant literature
The following serve as guidelines for the preparation of this material.
Descriptive Title
Select a title that accurately and clearly tells what the paper is about. Choose title terms as highly specific as content and emphasis of the paper permit. Avoid special symbols and formulas in titles unless essential to indicate content. Avoid cute or clever titles.
Author Names and Affiliations
Authors' names should be given without titles or degrees along with the name and address of the organization for which the work was carried out. A footnote on the first page should acknowledge funding sources and presentations, if any, of the material at technical meetings (give dates and sponsoring societies). The author's current address should be given in a footnote on the first page.
Abstract
The abstract should be from 150 to 200 words long and consist of short, direct, and complete sentences. It should be informative enough to serve in some cases as a substitute for reading the paper itself. It should state the objectives of the work, summarize the results, and give the principle conclusions. The title need not be repeated. Work planned but not done should not be described in the abstract. Because abstracts are extracted and used separately, do not use the first person, do not display mathematics, and do not use citation reference numbers. Try to avoid starting with the words "This paper ..."
Content Indicators
Three types of content indicators must be assigned: (1) categories and subject descriptors, (2) general terms, (3) keywords and phrases. The first two items are selected from the Computing Reviews Classification Scheme published in the January 1991 issue of Computing Reviews. Select as many of these as may be applicable.
The keywords and phrases are additional English language words that indicate the content of the submission. They should not be synonymous with those already in the classification system : they can be more specific in relation to the paper than the subject descriptors, or they may not be covered by the existing system at all. The following guidelines may be helpful.
- Use important terms from the title; include their synonyms, related words and words of higher or lower generic rank.
- Use English nouns, or noun-noun and noun-adjective combinations; do not use hyphens except if the hyphenated parts are always treated as a single unit.
- Use specific terms whose meanings are generally accepted; do not use broad catchall terms (such as "computer", "automatic", "machine", "system", "discussion", "description"); do not use private terms or acronyms that may not be generally known.
- Do not use negative terms stressing what your paper does not do.
Citations
- References to items in periodicals: These should take the form: author, title, journal, volume, number, date, pages. For authors, last names are given first, even for multiple authors; likewise for editors, with the name followed by (Ed.). The author's name always ends with a period, either the period which follows his initial, or a period for the purpose. The title has only the first word and proper names (or their derivatives) starting with capital letters, and it ends with a period. The date is given in parentheses. Example:
3. Jenkins, M. A., and Traub, J. F. Principles for testing zerofinding programs. ACM Trans. Math. Soft. 1, 1 (March 1975), 26-34.
- References to reports or proceedings: Author(s) name(s) and title (same style as above), report number, source including date and pages.
- References to books: Author(s) -- same style as in periodicals. Title -- all principal words start with a capital letter, and is set in italics. Include publisher, city, and year. Page or chapter references follow the year.
- Sequence: In the reference list, entries must be arranged alphabetically according to authors' or editors' names, or publishing organizations for items to which no names can be attached. References are to be numbered in the list, and the numbers are then cited in the text.
- Accuracy: Authors are responsible for checking that all information in the references is correct.
- Completeness: Include any and all information necessary for finding the work referenced. It is better to include more than enough information than too little information.

Review ProcessDetails of the review process are currently under revision by the Editorial Board. In general, the process follows the same guidelines as the other ACM Journal publications:
Submitted papers are evaluated by anonymous referees for originality, relevance, and presentation. The author will be notified of the name of an associate editor who will be responsible for the processing of the manuscript, and is expected to keep this editor informed of any change of address. Revisions requested by the associate editor should be returned directly to that editor. After the refereeing process is complete, the associate editor makes a recommendation for acceptance or rejection to the Editor-in-Chief, who makes the final decision on publication.
