Special Section on Emerging Trends and Design Paradigms for Memory Systems and Storage

Welcome to all readers of this special section addressingchallenges and innovative design and implementation strate-gies for memory systems and storage.As is well-known, the continued scaling of silicon-basedmicroelectronics technology, as well as the emergence ofnew, non-silicon-based technologies, enable increasingsystem complexity and performance, paving the way forapplications that had been unthinkable a few years ago. Atthe same time, increasingly diverse Internet of Things (IoT)applications and Autonomous Intelligent Systems demandthat an ever-increasing amount of data be correctly and rap-idly stored and accessed, posing new challenges to memorysystems and storage elements.In this special section we address issues related to design,test, reliability, resilience and availability of memory systemsand storage.
