The International Symposium on Networks-on-Chip (NOCS) is the premier event dedicated to interdisciplinary research on on-chip communication technology, architecture, design methods and applications. NOCS aims at 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 Original papers describing new and previously unpublished results are solicited on all aspects of NoC technology.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, but are not limited to:

? Network architecture (topology, routing, arbitration)

? Network design for 3D stacked logic and memory

? Mapping of applications onto NoCs

? Power and energy issues

? Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication

? NoC reliability issues

? OS support for NoCs

? Programming models

? Multi/many-core workload characterization & evaluation

? Network interface issues

? NoC case studies, application-specific NoC design

? Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of NoCs

? NoC support for memory and cache access

? NoC design methodologies and tools

? NoC Quality of Service

? NoCs for FPGAs and structured ASICs

? NoC support for CMP/MPSoCs

? Novel interconnect links/switches/routers

? Optical & RF for on-chip/in-package interconnects

? Signaling and circuit design for NoC links

? Physical design of interconnect and NoC

? Verification, debug & test of NoCs

? Metrics and benchmarks for NoCs

Electronic paper submission requires a full paper, up to 8 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. Please see the paper submission instructions for details. Proposals for tutorials, special sessions, panels are also invited. Please see the proposal submission instructions for details. A special section related to the theme of the conference will be organized in collaboration with one of the IEEE journals.
