This track highlights the design, integration, and deployment of multicore system-on-chip (SoC) platforms tailored for cyber-physical systems (CPS) and autonomous applications. As these systems increasingly rely on real-time sensing, decision-making, and actuation, multicore SoCs must deliver high performance, low latency, and energy efficiency while meeting stringent safety and reliability requirements.
We invite contributions that address architectural innovations, software-hardware co-design, and system-level optimization for CPS and autonomous platforms across domains such as robotics, automotive, aerospace, smart infrastructure, and industrial automation. This track fosters interdisciplinary collaboration across embedded systems, control theory, AI, and hardware design to advance the next generation of intelligent, autonomous, and cyber-physical multicore platforms.
