Each special issue will have a guest editor who will select the best 20-25 papers and invite submissions. Each manuscript (which must be an extension of a paper in the MWSCAS-2008 Proceedings) will go through the normal VLSI Design review process and will be assessed by at least two reviewers. It is expected that about 15 papers will be accepted for publication in each special issue. Dr. Saeid Nooshabadi, Editor-in-Chief [[http://www.hindawi.com/journals/vlsi/|Journal of VLSI Design]]
