CALL FOR PAPERS
The IEEE MCSoC Forum is the world’s premier forum for researchers in the active fields of embedded multicore and many‑core systems‑on‑chip design. MCSoC 2027 will be held at The University of Electro‑Communications, Tokyo, Japan, from May 12 to 15, 2027, and will include technical oral and poster sessions, special sessions, tutorials, and the MCSoC Global Summits, covering the topics listed above.
All papers must follow the official double‑column IEEE conference format and be submitted in PDF only. Regular papers may include up to 8 pages, with an additional charge of 50 USD per extra page (maximum of 2 extra pages). Short papers are strictly limited to 4 pages, and no extra pages are permitted. Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts are properly formatted, clearly written, and free of typographical or grammatical errors before submission.
Presentation‑Only submissions are reviewed for relevance and quality but are not included in the proceedings and do not produce an archival publication. Accepted presentation‑only work will appear in the conference program and program booklet and will receive a presentation slot during the event.
All submissions will undergo a single‑blind peer‑review process conducted by at least three qualified reviewers, evaluated on technical quality, originality, significance of the contribution, clarity of presentation, and overall organization. Papers that do not meet the formatting requirements or fall short of expected academic standards may be rejected without full review.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper Submission Deadline (Regular/Short): November 30, 2026
- Notification: March 31, 2027
- Camera-Ready & Author Registration: April 10, 2027
Hybrid Format: MCSoC 2027 will support both in‑person attendance and online participation, ensuring broad accessibility for the global community.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
The Organizing Committee of MCSoC 2027 invites proposals for Special Sessions to be held during the conference at UEC, Tokyo, Japan, May 12–15, 2027.
Special sessions complement the regular technical program by highlighting emerging, interdisciplinary, or high‑impact topics within embedded multicore/many‑core systems‑on‑chip, embedded AI, and neuromorphic and embodied computing. Proposals outside these themes that address challenging open problems or novel applications are also encouraged. All papers within an accepted special session undergo the same peer‑review process as regular submissions.
Proposal should include the following information (3 pages max.):
- Title and abstract: A title and a concise abstract that conveys the session’s topic and scope.
- Rationale: Explain why the topic is novel and timely, and describe its relevance to the MCSoC community.
- Proposed speakers: Provide a list of all talks, speakers, and co-authors (in each associated paper). Sessions are normally expected to have around 5 papers. In exceptional cases (e.g., invited industrial speakers), you may propose a session with fewer papers.
- Short biographies: Provide a short bio-sketch of the session proposer(s).
IMPORTANT DATES
- Special Session Proposal Deadline: January 15, 2027
- Special Session Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2027
- Paper submission (within accepted sessions): February 15, 2027
