PhD Symposium

The PhD Symposium of the 18th IEEE MCSoC 2025 invites submissions from doctoral students conducting research in the broad areas of Multicore/Many-core Systems-on-Chip, including but not limited to:

Embedded and real-time systems
Hardware/software co-design
AI accelerators and neuromorphic architectures
Reconfigurable computing and FPGA-based systems
Secure and dependable SoC architectures
Low-power and energy-efficient design
Network-on-Chip (NoC) and interconnect technologies
Edge computing and heterogeneous integration

We especially welcome submissions that explore innovative, impactful, and forward-looking approaches to the design, analysis, and deployment of multicore/many-core systems across diverse application domains.

Benefits of Participating

Present and discuss your ongoing research with an international community of experts in embedded systems and SoC design.
Receive constructive feedback from senior researchers and industry leaders.
Network with peers and mentors to foster future collaborations.
Selected papers may be invited for extended publication in IEEE Transactions associated with MCSoC.

Eligibility

The PhD Symposium welcomes submissions from all PhD students.

Early-stage researchers should clearly articulate their research problem and proposed methodology.
Advanced-stage researchers are encouraged to present mature results and receive feedback to refine their contributions.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must be in PDF format, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.
Papers must conform to the IEEE conference paper format and not exceed 8 pages, including figures, references, and appendices.
Non-compliant or out-of-scope submissions will be rejected without review.
Include 3–5 keywords at the end of the abstract to characterize your paper.

IEEE MCSoC 2025 follows a two-round paper submission process. The first round has now concluded, and the second round of submissions is now open.
