Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The rapid technological advancements in microelectronics and sensing technologies has led to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). The ever-increasing adoption of IoT for business accounts generates voluminous data, which significantly transforms the business landscape by providing many opportunities. VLSI technology perfectly suits the current business demand by accelerating the manufacturing of the most reliable business IoT technologies with extreme portability and a small size. VLSI empowers IoT conglomerates sensing systems with business communication, computation, and storage, rapidly ensuring appropriate business responses. The integration of VLSI-certified IoT dramatically enhances user experience in managing business accounts by offering more personalized interactions with clients. Additionally, machine learning and artificial intelligence can be adopted, which provide a myriad of opportunities to automate business accounts. VLSI enables the integration of voice assistance in business accounts management and offers a brand-new experience of various business transactions, such as paying bills, making purchases, banking, and so on. The automated monitoring of assets was effortless by the amalgamation of VLSI-embedded IoT, which aids in the real-time monitoring of wear and tear metrics, and thus simplifies digital-enabled asset management. IoT-enabled asset management can offer unlimited opportunities for smart collaterals, which significantly help with business financing. IoT enables smart payments, making business transactions more convenient and overcoming the limitations of multimodal compatibilities. IoTs harnessing the potential of microelectronics are more precise in tracking assets, and thus help to better manage and mitigate trade risks. VLSI-embedded IoTs are leveraging the function of business IoT for the next generation and enabling the modelling of new business models.

Microchip-embedded business IoTs facilitate the integration of next-generation computational appliances and have a remarkable performance in multimodal operations. However, potential challenges and drawbacks need to be addressed for their global recommendation and adoption. Primarily, expanding business horizons pushes the boundaries of fusing various technologies and platforms. Expanding the network of IoTs is exceedingly multifaceted for performing remote management and automation. Moreover, multimodal data integration still has faults, and thus requires  improvement. Business data management is still inadequate and requires innovative data storage and retrieval platforms. Additionally, improvements are mandatory for adopting natural language processing in VLSI-enhanced IoTs for the complete digitalization of business accounts. Providing substantial improvements, VLSI-embedded circuits are a productive additive in managing and expanding business accounts, which could certainly provide numerous opportunities in future business.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to discuss and highlight various aspects of machine learning, wireless IoT, automated business transactions, voice assistance, billing and cashing, trading account maintenance, ledger operations, and so on. We invite researchers from various fields to present their research papers, reviews, and perspectives regarding VLSI and microelectronic-embedded circuits for IoT-assisted business accounts.

The list of potential topics for this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • New VLSI-embedded IoT architecture for business account maintenance;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep learning for improving human operation and interoperability of business IoT;
  • Advances in signal processing, actuation and sensing of business transactions by VLSI-embedded circuits;
  • Advances in the IoT-assisted automation of sustainable supply chain projects and business transactions;
  • Current trends in intelligent device management and data security in microelectronics-embedded business IoT;
  • Innovations in ubiquitous computing for next-generation business IoT;
  • Advances in sustainable embedded protocols for cloud-assisted automated transactions;
  • Research on the ambient intelligence of VLSI-embedded microsystems for subsequent generation data storage and retrieval;
  • Research on AI-based reconfigurable architectures for the automation of business accounts;
  • Trends in the smart management of business assets by next-generation business IoT;
  • Trends in the automated processing of bills and contracts by smart IoT;
  • Impact assessment of business IoT and big data on sustainable operations and next-generation business models;
  • Advances in the smart transformation of business maintenance through digital technologies.

In this paper, an optimized memristor emulator circuit is designed, by using nine MOSFET transistors and a ground capacitor. Our area- and power-optimized emulator circuit can be used for basic data storage and processing at the monitoring edge, in real-time applications. The memristor shows a nonlinear voltage–current relationship, but no multiplier circuit provides the memristor’s nonlinear characteristics. As a result, the proposed memristor emulator has a very low chip area. The memristor circuit is designed in LTSpice, using 16 nm and 45 nm CMOS technology parameters, and the operating voltage is ±0.9 V. In this research, the theoretical derivations are validated using the simulated results of the memristor emulator circuit using different frequencies, capacitors, and input voltages in SPICE simulations.

In recent years, the competition in the tourism market has become more and more fierce. Tourism destinations need to ensure they have sufficient sources of tourists, and thus, improving their market competitiveness, image, and reputation are particularly important. For this reason, tourism academia has always attached great importance to the study of tourism destination image. Many studies have shown that tourists’ travel behavior is largely influenced by their perception of tourism destinations. Research on heritage tourism from the supply perspective is relatively abundant, whereas not much research has been conducted on the demand side, and the influence of heritage tourism on the perception of a destination’s image has rarely been discussed. This study examines destination image perceptions through three components: cognition, affection, and quality of experience. We propose a conceptual model that clarifies how the quality of experience mediates the formation of cognition and affection with regard to emerging destinations in mainland China. This study employed the PLS-SEM discontinuous two-stage approach, which involved the examination of higher-order constructs (HOCs). The results from a sample of 475 visitors to the ancient city of Qingzhou in mainland China showed that cognition positively influences affection, and they both positively influence the overall image. Quality of experience was shown to be a mediating factor between cognition and affection. Moreover, the variables under quality of experience were confirmed to be consistent with those under cognition. Full article

In order to measure tunnel illumination with high efficiency and accuracy, a vehicle-mounted tunnel illumination measurement device is designed in this paper. The device comprises a measurement module, a control module, a display module, and a power module. The measurement module is composed of a BCE illuminance sensor and an inductive proximity switch, which can realize a single illuminance measurement within a fixed distance. The control module, i.e., the STC12C5A60S2 single-chip microcomputer, sends the single measurement data to the storage module to realize dynamic automatic measurement. The display module is an LCD1602 liquid crystal display, which displays the measured tunnel mileage and real-time illumination. The whole device is fed by the powered module. The man–machine exchange interface of the Visual Basic (VB) host computer and Access database are used to display and store the previous illuminance measurement data, respectively. Extensive experiments show that the device has the advantages of a simple structure, convenient installation, stable operation, and accurate and efficient measurement, and can realize an automatic measurement of illumination in a long tunnel.
