Introduction to Special Section: Best of NANOARCH 2008 This issue of the ACM Journal of Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC ) contains a special section on the best of NANOARCH 2008 . In June 2008, the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Nanoscale Architectures (NANOARCH) was held in Anaheim, CA. To highlight some of the work that was presented, the symposium organizers, along with the Editor-in-Chief of JETC, agreed to include a selection of these articles from NANOARCH 2009 as peer-reviewed articles in a special section of JETC. Two articles were selected for inclusion in the special section of this issue. Following is a brief introduction to the two articles. The rst article, titled Low-Power FinFET Circuit Synthesis Using Multiple Supply and Threshold Voltages , by Mishra, Muttreja, and Jha, presents a methodology for synthesizing FinFET circuits using a generalization of Threshold Control through Multiple Supply Voltages (TCMS). A signi cant advantage of their scheme is that it avoids voltage level-converters. The authors show that over a 60% savings in power and area is possible using their methodology. The second article by Crocker, Hu, and Niemier, titled Defects and Faults in QCA-Based PLAs , explores various aspects of defect tolerance for Quantumdot Cellular Automata (QCA)-based designs. In particular, they build a fault model for a QCA-based PLA structure, and using this fault model, present techniques for mapping arbitrary Boolean logic functions onto defective QCAbased PLAs. Their result show improved yields using their approach compared to previously proposed techniques. In closing, I would like to thank the article contributors, the anonymous reviewers, and the editorial staff of ACM JETC for supporting this effort. I hope the readers will nd these articles enjoyable and insightful. R.
