Call for Papers (CFP.pdf)

The IEEE MCSoC Forum is a premier global event that unites researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to explore cutting-edge advancements in embedded systems and integrated circuit (IC) design. With a focus on emerging applications and sustainable development, it serves as a crucial platform for innovation and collaboration. The forum features distinguished keynote speakers, technical tracks, and special sessions, making it an essential gathering for those involved in embedded system design and research. The event is sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the IEEE Computer Society Technical Community on Microprocessors and Microcomputers (TCMM). For the 2025 edition, we anticipate having attendees from 30+ countries and territories.
