IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems
Special Issue: FRACTIONAL-ORDER CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS?

Fractional-order circuits and system design is an emerging field
incorporating concepts from fractional calculus into electrical
circuits and systems; showing diverse applications and immense
potential in control systems, signal processing, biomedical
instrumentation, and many more. As far as circuit design is concerned,
there is a tremendous need to continue to generalize circuit design
and analysis techniques from the narrow integer-order subset to the
more general fractional-order domain and explore the unique properties
of these circuits and systems.

The aim of this special issue is to expand on the analysis and design
of circuits and systems approached from a fractional-order perspective.
Original research papers are solicited, but not restricted to, the
following areas:

* Circuit Theory of fractional-order systems
* Systematic design and realization processes of fractional-order
circuits
* Analog and Digital approximation techniques of fractional systems
* Fractional-order modeling and applications (e.g. in biochemistry,
biomedicine, and hybrid power systems)
* CAD tools and algorithms for simulations of fractional-order circuits
* Signal Processing based on fractional-order models
* System/sub-system level applications?

Authors are invited to submit to JETCAS via the JETCAS website and
according to JETCAS policies and procedures. For details see
