Call for Papers (.pdf), (.txt)

 

The IEEE 10th International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip aims at providing the  world’s premier forum of leading  researchers in the embedded Multicore/Many-core 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.
