Call for Special Sessions

The Organizing Committee of the 19th IEEE International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC 2026) invites proposals for Special Sessions to be held during the symposium. Special Sessions aim to enrich the technical program by spotlighting emerging research directions, disruptive technologies, and innovative applications in the broad domains of multicore/many-core architectures, on-chip systems, AI accelerators, intelligent edge platforms, and next‑generation computing paradigms.

Proposals should focus on timely, high-impact topics that advance the state of the art and stimulate deeper interaction among researchers, practitioners, and industry partners. Sessions that strengthen academic–industrial collaboration, promote cross-disciplinary innovation, or highlight regional and global research initiatives are especially welcome.

Special Session proposals in all areas relevant to MCSoC — including architecture, design methodologies, compilers, runtime systems, AI/ML hardware, embedded systems, reconfigurable computing, and emerging application domains — are encouraged. Inter‑society proposals jointly organized with other IEEE Societies (beyond the Computer Society and TCMM) are particularly encouraged, as they broaden the symposium’s reach and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

A special session can vary from a quarter to a half day and should consist of at least four papers. All accepted papers will be included in the 19th IEEE MCSoC 2026 proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (CSP). Papers will be peer-reviewed in the same manner as regular session papers.
