微處理器和微系統：嵌入式硬件設計（MICPro）是一本涵蓋與嵌入式系統硬件相關的所有設計和體系結構方面的雜志。這包括不同的嵌入式系統硬件平臺，從定制硬件到可重新配置的系統和特定于應用程序的處理器，再到通用嵌入式處理器。重點介紹了新型復雜的嵌入式體系結構，如片上系統（SOC）、可編程/可重構芯片系統（SOPC）和片上多處理器系統（MPSOC），以及它們的存儲和通信方法和結構，如片上網絡（NOC）。這些系統的設計自動化，包括設計方法、技術、流程和工具，以及硬件組件的新設計，都屬于本雜志的范圍。使用嵌入式系統的新型網絡物理應用也是本雜志的中心。雖然本雜志的主要關注點不是軟件，但是考慮到軟件和硬件組件之間的相互作用（重點是硬件）的硬件/軟件協同設計方法以及應用程序重組和到嵌入式硬件平臺的映射也在本雜志的范圍內。

Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design (MICPRO) is a journal covering all design and architectural aspects related to embedded systems hardware. This includes different embedded system hardware platforms ranging from custom hardware via reconfigurable systems and application specific processors to general purpose embedded processors. Special emphasis is put on novel complex embedded architectures, such as systems on chip (SoC), systems on a programmable/reconfigurable chip (SoPC) and multi-processor systems on a chip (MPSoC), as well as, their memory and communication methods and structures, such as network-on-chip (NoC).Design automation of such systems including methodologies, techniques, flows and tools for their design, as well as, novel designs of hardware components fall within the scope of this journal. Novel cyber-physical applications that use embedded systems are also central in this journal. While software is not in the main focus of this journal, methods of hardware/software co-design, as well as, application restructuring and mapping to embedded hardware platforms, that consider interplay between software and hardware components with emphasis on hardware, are also in the journal scope.
