IEEE Transactions on Computers (TC) is a monthly publication with a wide distribution to researchers, developers, technical managers, and educators in the computer field. It publishes papers on research in areas of current interest to the readers. These areas include, but are not limited to, the following: a) computer organizations and architectures; b) operating systems, software systems, and communication protocols; c) real-time systems and embedded systems; d) digital devices, computer components, and interconnection networks; e) specification, design, prototyping, and testing methods and tools; f) performance, fault tolerance, reliability, security, and testability; g) case studies and experimental and theoretical evaluations; and h) new and important applications and trends.

Additional Information

IEEE Transactions on Computers publishes papers on research in areas of current interest to the readers, including but not limited to the following: a) computer organizations and architectures (multicores, manycores, accelerators, application-specific, domain-specific and reconfigurable processors, processing-in-memory, near-data processing, and  datacenters); b) operating systems, software systems, and cloud computing  (runtime systems, parallel and distributed systems, virtualization, and software-hardware interactions); c) real-time, mobile and embedded systems (Internet of Things, edge computing, wearables, actuators, and sensor networks); d) digital devices, computer components, and interconnection networks (volatile and non-volatile emerging memory technologies, solid-state devices for storage, emerging technologies for interconnects); e) specification, design, prototyping, and testing methods and tools; f) performance, fault tolerance, reliability, security, and testability (availability, scalability, energy/power management); g) case studies and experimental and theoretical evaluations (workload characterization, tracing, analyzing, and troubleshooting) ; and h) new and important applications and trends (computing issues for emerging technologies and applications, machine learning, approximate computing, quantum computing, neuromorphic computing, and analog computing).

TC is a scholarly, archival journal published monthly. In addition to full papers, brief contributions are also published.
