Special Section on Multiple-Valued Logic and VLSI Computing
Welcome to this Special Section on “Multiple-Valued Logic and VLSI Computing.” The papers featured here are primarily extended versions of those presented at the IEEE 53rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL 2023) held in Matsue, Japan, on May 22-24, 2023. They include substantial additional information beyond the original presentations. We have consistently published special issues in conjunction with ISMVL events in Japan, such as those in Toyama in 2013, Sapporo in 2016, and Miyazaki in 2020. The aim of this Special Section is to provide an overview of recent research advancements in various aspects related to multiple-valued concepts to the many readers of this transaction who are interested in innovative, new-concept VLSI computing and its applications.
The nine contributing papers span a broad range, including logic design, VLSI architecture, communication for VLSI, quantum computing design, and innovative applications such as reversible logic and neural networks. We extend our gratitude to all the authors who contributed papers and the reviewers who worked diligently to ensure that the papers were of publication quality. We hope that this special section will foster further discussions among readers on the interdisciplinary fields of multiple-valued logic and VLSI computing.
