From energy generation to transportation, from energy distribution to storage, from semiconductor processing tocommunications, and from portable devices to data centers, energy consumption has grown to be a major limitation tousability and performance. Therefore, energy-efficient technologies become an active research area motivated by energynecessity and environmental concerns. With energy-efficient technologies, a number of epoch-making technical approachescan be expected. Energy efficiency technologies are affecting all forms of energy conversion and all aspects of life.

Journal of Electronic Science and Technology (JEST) is a peer-reviewed periodical, indexed by Scopus and EI inINSPEC, and also included in DOAJ, CAS, CNKI, Sciencepaper Online, etc.

JEST is soliciting original manuscripts for Special Section on Energy-Efficient Technologies (EET) which appears onJEST periodically. This special section on EET intends to bring together the state-of-art research results and industrialapplications of energy-efficient technologies. Authors are invited to submit unpublished papers, which are not under reviewin any other conference or journal, in the following topic areas, but not limited to:

¨Energy-saving materials and devices

¨Low-power circuit and system

¨CAD for power optimization

¨Energy-aware and energy-efficient computing.

¨Energy-efficient communication,networking,and protocols

¨Energy monitoring and management

¨Energy-aware fault tolerance.

¨Energy-efficient storage systems.

¨Efficient power generation/conversion

¨Efficient power transmission/distribution

¨Smart metering and dynamic pricing

¨Energy-efficient transport and logistics

Guest Editors are also cordially invited to submit proposals for special issues/sections related to Energy-Efficient Technologies to JEST (journal@uestc.edu.cn).

All the manuscripts will undergo the standard peer review process. For manuscript preparation and submission, pleasefollow the guidelines in the Information for Authors at http://www.journal.uestc.edu.cn/. When submitting, please indicatethat this paper is intended for EET.

All papers could be submitted via email journal@intl-jest.com. For inquiries for EET special section, please contactxiexuan@uestc.edu.cn.
