*******************************************************************************************
The IEEE 12th MCSoC-2018 aims to provide world’s premier forum of leading researchers in the Embedded Multicore/Many-core SoCs software, tools and applications design areas for academia and industries. From the 2018 edition, the MCSoC symposium targets new emerging topic related to neuro-inspired/neuromorphic computing architectures and systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions. Submission of a contribution implies that at least one of the authors will have a full registration to the symposium upon acceptance of his/her contribution. Submission can include, technical and experimental, theoretical, conceptual, or a survey. All submissions will be peer-reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance, and clarity. Topics of interest will fall under one or more of the following symposium tracks:
• Track 1: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Programming
Chair: Stéphane Louise, CEA, LIST, France
• Track 2: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Architectures
Chairs: Jung Ho Ahn, Seoul National University, South Korea;
Keiji Kimura, Waseda University, Japan
• Track 3: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Design
Cristiana Bolchini, Politecnico di Milano, Itlay;
Diana Göhringer, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
• Track 4: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Interconnection Networks
Chair: José L. Abellán, Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM), Spain
• Track 5: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Testing
• Track 6: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Design Automation and Low-power Design

Proceedings Publication and Indexing

MCSoC 2018 proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press, which will be included in the Computer Society Digital Library CSDL and IEEE Xplore. All CPS conference publications are also submitted for indexing to EI’s Engineering Information Index, Compendex, and ISI Thomson’s Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and ISI Thomson.

Submission Guidelines and Proceedings
Electronic paper submission should not exceed 8 double-column IEEE format pages, including figures and references. Papers should be formatted as close as possible to the final format – double column, single-spaced, and Times or equivalent font of minimum, 10pt size. The acceptable format is PDF only. Any other file format and manuscripts received in hard-copy form will not be processed. Please use IEEE Formats for paper formatting.
Every submitted paper will be evaluated by at least three reviewers in technical quality, originality, significance to the symposium, and organization. We encourage authors to proofread and spell check their papers before submission.
