1. General Purpose Of The Conference
International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC) aims at providing the world’ s premier SoC design forum for leading researchers from academia and industries. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of their original works emphasizing their own contributions. ISOCC 2015 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE CAS Society and accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore. We also welcome proposals for special sessions.

2. Conference Theme
The theme of ISOCC 2015 is "SoC for Internet of Everything (IoE)". The advent of IoE brings challenges and opportunities, especially for the entire silicon community. We will gather together for better solutions to make IoE possible. SoC solutions for IoE services require new approaches to march into the next level. ISOCC 2015 is looking for novel SoC solutions to open the IoE era.

3. Paper Submission
A complete 2-page manuscript must be submitted electronically in PDF format (in Standard IEEE double-column format posted on the conference website). Only electronic submission will be accepted. For more information, please refer to the conference website: http://www.isocc.org
