The TODAES editorial board invites submission of technical papers describing recent results of research and development efforts in the area of design automation of electronic systems. The journal intends to 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. Potential authors are encouraged to consult the information for authors.

Please use http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/todaes for new submissions, status of papers, assignment of reviewers and reviewing tasks. Please note, if you don't have an account at ACM Manuscript Central you will need to create an account before you can log in and submit to ACM TODAES.

ACM introduces a new publishing license agreement, an updated copyright transfer agreement, and a new author-pays option which allows for perpetual open access through the ACM Digital Library. For more information, visit the ACM Author Rights webpage.

• It is the first to formally generalize the concept of ODC in the behavior level. In addition, it presents an exact and efficient algorithm to compute the behavior-level ODC in the presence of black-box operations. Traditional (or logic) ODC based analysis can hardly derive high-level ODC information (esp. across clock boundaries) in complete and efficient manners.
• It is also the first to combine behavior-level ODC analysis with high-level synthesis (HLS) optimizations to identify and avoid unnecessary computations and data transfers.
• The proposed ODC-based optimizations have been integrated into a cutting-edge commercial HLS system (AutoESL/Xilinx), leading to significant power savings (30%+) for the synthesized circuits.
