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 datacenter 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.

The final program can be found here. NOCS 2019 will be held at the NYU Abu Dhabi HQ Building (19 Washington Square North, New York, NY).

The NOCS 2019 proceedings can be downloaded from here (password will be made available at the event).
