The Editorial Board has the satisfaction to launch the second edition of the Journal of Integrated Circuits and Systems - JICS. This journal will present state-of-art papers on Integrated Circuits and Systems areas. It is an effort of both Brazilian Microelectronics Society - SBMicro and Brazilian Computer Society - SBC to create a new scientific journal covering the following microelectronic domains: Process and Materials, Device and Characterization, Design, Test and CAD of Integrated Circuits and Systems. This second edition includes a selection of papers from SBMicro symposium.
