Introducing "Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering"
It targets researchers and practitioners in neuromorphic computing by launching a new journal to support community growth, but it is incremental as it focuses on creating a publication platform rather than novel research.
The paper introduces the journal 'Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering' to address challenges in computing by promoting brain-inspired methods and technologies, aiming to foster collaboration across disciplines and provide a forum for advances in this field.
The standard nature of computing is currently being challenged by a range of problems that start to hinder technological progress. One of the strategies being proposed to address some of these problems is to develop novel brain-inspired processing methods and technologies, and apply them to a wide range of application scenarios. This is an extremely challenging endeavor that requires researchers in multiple disciplines to combine their efforts and co-design at the same time the processing methods, the supporting computing architectures, and their underlying technologies. The journal ``Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering'' (NCE) has been launched to support this new community in this effort and provide a forum and repository for presenting and discussing its latest advances. Through close collaboration with our colleagues on the editorial team, the scope and characteristics of NCE have been designed to ensure it serves a growing transdisciplinary and dynamic community across academia and industry.
