## CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Symposium on Networks-on-Chip (NOCS) is the premier event dedicated to interdisciplinary research on on-chip, package-scale, chip-to-chip, and data center rack-scale communication technology, architecture, design methods, applications and systems. NOCS brings together scientists and engineers working on NoC innovations and applications from inter-related research communities, including discrete optimization and algorithms, computer architecture, networking, circuits and systems, packaging, embedded systems, and design automation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
### NoC Architecture and Implementation
– Network architecture (topology, routing, arbitration)
– Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication
– NoC reliability and security issues and solutions
– Power/thermal issues at NoC un-core and system-level
– Network interface issues and solutions
– Signaling and circuit design for NoC links and routers
### Communication Analysis, Optimization, and Verification
– NoC performance analysis and Quality of Service
– Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of NoC
– Verification, debug, and test of NoC
– Benchmarks on NoC-based hardware
– Communication-efficient algorithms
– Communication workload characterization and evaluation
### Emerging NoC Technologies
– Optical, wireless, CNT, and other emerging technologies
– NoC for 2.5D and 3D packages
– NoC architecture for chiplet-based integrated systems
– Package-specific NoC design
– Network coding and compression solutions
– Approximate computing for NoC and NoC-based systems
### NoC for Embedded High-Performance Computing Systems
– NoC for FPGA, ASIC, CPU-GPU, CMP, and Data Center on a Chip
– NoC designs for heterogeneous systems
– Scalable modeling of NoC
– Machine learning (ML) inspired NoC design
– NoC for artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators
– NoC case studies, application-specific NoC design
### NoC at the Un-Core and System-level
– Design of memory subsystem (un-core), including memory controllers, caches, and cache coherence protocols in NoC
– NoC for new memory/storage technologies
– NoC support for processing-in-memory
– OS support for NoC
– Programming models for NoCs
– Interactions between large-scale systems (data center, edge, and fog computing) and NoC-based building blocks
### Inter/Intra-Chip and Rack-Scale Network
– Unified inter/intra-chip networks
– Hybrid chip-scale and data center rack-scale networks
– All aspects of inter-chip and rack-scale network design
