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.
Being co-located with the Embedded Systems Week 2017, NOCS 2017 will be held in Seoul, the capital
of South Korea.
Registration and hotel reservation are available online at http://www.esweek.org/. Please note that
September 10, 2017 is the deadline for both Hotel reservation and Advance registration.
Advance program is available online. Please visit http://www.arc.ics.keio.ac.jp/nocs17/
