The International Symposium on Networks–on–Chip (NOCS) is the premier event dedicated to interdisciplinary research on on–chip, chip–scale, and multichip package 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 computer architecture, networking, circuits and systems, packaging, embedded systems, and design automation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>NoC Architecture and Design<br>Network architecture (topology, routing, arbitration)<br>NoC Quality of Service<br>Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication<br>Network interface issues<br>NoC design methodologies and tools<br>Mapping of applications onto NoCs<br>Signaling and circuit design for NoC links<br>NoC at the Un–Core and System–level<br>Design of memory subsystem (un–core) including memory controllers, caches, cache coherence protocols, and NoCs<br>NoC support for memory and cache access<br>OS support for NoCs<br>Programming models including shared memory, message passing, and novel models<br>Issues related to large–scale systems (datacenters, supercomputers) with NoC–based systems as building blocks<br>Novel NoC Technologies<br>New physical interconnect technologies, e.g., carbon nanotubes, wireless NoCs, through–silicon, etc<br>NoCs for 3D and 2.5D packages<br>Package–specific NoC design<br>Optical, RF, and emerging technologies for on–chip/in–package interconnects<br>NoC Application<br>NoC case studies<br>Application–specific NoC designs<br>NoC designs for heterogeneous many–core systems, fused CPU–GPU architectures, FPGA–based systems, etc<br>NoC Analysis, Verification, and Modeling<br>Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of NoCs<br>Verification, debug, and test of NoCs<br>Metrics and benchmarks for NoCs<br>Scalable modeling of NoCs<br>NoC Optimization<br>For power/energy efficiency<br>For thermal efficiency and darksilicon<br>For dependable architectures<br>For communication efficient algorithms<br>
