JSA is an international journal published by Elsevier and dedicated to host the mostly advanced results of research activities in the field of Computer Science and Microelectronics.

Formerly named "Microprocessing and Microprogramming: the Euromicro Journal", JSA reflected in its contents, far more than in its name, the evolution of Computer Science and Microlectronics over the last decades: from the computer architectures "in-the-small" (typical of the pioneering age of microcomputers) to the computer architectures "in-the-large", necessary to be competitive with the development trends of the computer industry in the new millennium.

JSA is aimed at disseminating research results related to the different architectural aspects of modern information processing systems. To this purpose, besides normal issues collecting individual contributions from scientists from academia and government research labs as well as from industry, JSA features special issues managed by guest editors and focused on specific hot topics. In addition, invited papers are solicited, especially from chief industry executives, to give readers a flavor about trends of evolution in modern Computer Science and Microelectronics.

JSA is managed by an editorial board constituted by two editors-in-chief (Krysztof Kuchinski and Paolo Cremonesi), an editorial office, and several subject area editors. Once received, each paper is forwarded to the most appropriate Subject Area Editor, who will take care of the paper review process, identifying proper referees, collecting their opinions and suggesting a final decision for the paper itself. Electronic submission of papers is strongly recommended, to allow easier management of the review process and to speed up the decision about final acceptance of the papers themselves. JSA policies include as a major goal to monitor in a strict way the reviewing process of each paper, thus providing for reasonable submission-to-publication times.

Contributions (written in English) should be sent to the editorial office. Submissions must contain a compact summary (maximally 150 words) and the full postal address (including email/fax) of the corresponding author. Please submit your manuscript by e-mail as a printable file format with your pager as postscript or PDF to the editorial office of the journal.
The Editors-in-chief will arrange that the paper is transmitted to the appropriate area-editor who will then begin the review process.
