The IEEE 14th MCSoC-2021 aims to provide 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. 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 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
  
• Track 2: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Architectures
  
• Track 3: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Design
  
• Track 4: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Interconnection Networks
  
• Track 5: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC and System Security
  
• Track 6: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Design Automation and Low-power Design
  
• Track 7: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Real-Time Systems
  
• Track 8: Operating Systems Platforms for Real-Time Embedded Applications
  
• Track 9: Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoC Applications
  
• Track 10: Algorithms, Architecture and Hardware for AI
  
• Track 11: Embedded Neuromorphic Computing Systems
  
• Track 12: Secure and Fault-Tolerant Embedded Computing
  
• Track 13: Machine Learning for Energy-efficient, Reliable Manycore Interconnects

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.MCSoC 2021 proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society, 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.
