CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Symposium on Embedded Multicore Systems-on-chip (MCSoC-12) aims
at providing the world's premier forum of leading researchers in the embedded multicore SoCs
software, tools and applications design areas for Academia and industries. Prospective authors
are invited to submit paper of their works. Submission of a paper implies that at least one of
the authors will have a full registration to the symposium upon acceptance of the paper.


Topics of Interest:

- Software for Embedded Multicore: Compilers, cross assemblers, programming, memory management, object-oriented aspects, virtual machines, concurrent software for SoCs.
- Hardware for Embedded Multicore: SoCs, DSPs, hardware specification, modeling, synthesis, low power simulation and analysis, reliable, performance modeling, security issues.
- Embedded Multicore System Architecture: Multicore, Many-core, reconfigurable platforms, memory management support, communication, protocols, real-time systems
- Network-on-chip: NoC architecture, Power and energy issues in NoC , Application specific NoC design, Timing, synchronous /asynchronous communication, RTOS support for NoC, Modeling, simulation, NoC support for MCSoC, NoCs for FPGAs and structured ASICs, NoC design tools
-Multicore Real-time Systems: Software, distributed real-time systems, real-time kernels, task scheduling, multitasking design
-Multicore Testing: Design-for-test, test synthesis, built-in self-test, embedded test for MCSoC
-Multicore Practices & Benchmarks: Software, tools, trends, emerging technologies, experience maintaining benchmark suites, representation, tools, copyrights, maintenance
- Packaging Technologies for MCSoCs
- Embedded Systems and Network Protocols
- Cloud Coupunting freindly Embedded Systems and Multicore Systems

Submission Guidelines
