The rapid evolution of embedded multicore and manycore System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms is enabling unprecedented capabilities across a wide range of application domains. From intelligent edge devices and autonomous systems to high‑performance embedded analytics, modern SoCs now integrate heterogeneous compute units, advanced memory hierarchies, and domain‑specific accelerators tailored for real‑world workloads.
This track invites high‑quality contributions that demonstrate how multicore/manycore SoCs are designed, optimized, and deployed to meet the stringent performance, energy, reliability, and real‑time requirements of emerging application domains. We particularly welcome papers that bridge the gap between system architecture, software stacks, and domain‑driven innovation.

Topics of Interest (include but are not limited to):

  • Autonomous and Intelligent Systems
    Robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, real‑time perception, sensor fusion, and embedded AI pipelines.
  • Cyber‑Physical and Industrial Systems
    Smart factories, industrial automation, predictive maintenance, digital twins, and time‑sensitive networking.
  • Healthcare and Biomedical Applications
    Wearable and implantable devices, real‑time physiological monitoring, medical imaging, and edge‑AI diagnostics.
  • Smart IoT and Edge Computing
    Ultra‑low‑power edge nodes, distributed intelligence, federated learning on embedded SoCs, and secure IoT deployments.
  • High‑Performance Embedded Analytics
    On‑device data processing, streaming analytics, and domain‑specific accelerators for ML, DSP, and HPC‑in‑embedded contexts.
  • Automotive and Transportation Systems
    ADAS, in‑vehicle computing platforms, safety‑critical processing, and multicore real‑time scheduling.
  • Aerospace and Defense Applications
    Radiation‑tolerant SoCs, mission‑critical embedded systems, and high‑reliability multicore architectures.
  • Consumer and Multimedia Systems
    AR/VR, gaming, imaging pipelines, video analytics, and immersive media processing.
  • Energy, Environment, and Sustainability
    Smart grids, environmental monitoring, renewable‑energy control systems, and energy‑aware embedded computing.

Submission Expectations

We encourage submissions that include:

  • Real‑world deployments, prototypes, or case studies
  • Novel architectures or software frameworks tailored to specific domains
  • Performance, energy, or reliability evaluations on multicore/manycore SoCs
  • Cross‑layer approaches combining hardware, runtime, and application design
  • Comparative studies demonstrating domain‑specific optimization strategies
