NOCS is the premier event dedicated to interdisciplinary research on on-chip communication technology, architecture, design methods and applications, bringing together scientists and engineers working on NoC innovations from inter-related research communities, including computer architecture, networking, circuits and systems, embedded systems, and design automation. Original papers describing new and previously unpublished results are solicited on all aspects of NoC technology. Topics of interest include:
- NoC architecture (topology, routing, arbitration...)
- Novel interconnect links/switches/routers
- Signaling and circuit design for NoC links
- Power and energy issues
- Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication
- NoC reliability issues
- NoC services (quality of service, security…)
- Methodologies, tools, design flows and development environments for NoCs
- Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of NoCs
- Verification, debug & test of NoCs
- Floorplan-aware NoC architecture optimization
- Physical design of interconnect and NoCs
- 3D stacked, optical & RF on-chip/inpackage interconnects
- Emerging technologies for NoCs (CNFET, Nanowires)
- O/S and programming model support for NoCs
- Mapping of applications onto NoCs
- NoC support for CMP and MPSoCs
- NoCs for FPGAs and structured ASICs
- IP protocol support (AXI, OCP…) and interoperability support
- Metrics and benchmarks for NoCs
- Multi/many-core workload characterization & evaluation
- NoC design case studies
Electronic paper submission requires a full paper, up to 10 double-column IEEE format pages, including figures and references. Papers will be evaluated by the program committee in a blind review process based on scientific merit, innovation, relevance, and presentation. Proposals for tutorials, special sessions, and panels are also invited.
