The IEEE MCSoC (Multicore and Many-core Systems-on-Chip) Forum is very well-known within the field of embedded systems. It is recognized as a significant event that brings together researchers, practitioners, industry experts, and government policymakers from around the world to discuss the latest advancements and innovations in embedded systems and ICs design for emerging applications and sustainable development. The forum features distinguished keynote speakers, technical tracks, and special sessions, making it an important gathering for those involved in embedded system design and research. The upcoming 18th IEEE MCSoc 2025 will take place in Singapore, Dec. 15-18, 2025. This event aims to gather leading researchers and industry experts to discuss advancements and challenges in embedded multicore/manycore systems, including topics like embedded AI and machine learning​. The event also features numerous technical tracks and special sessions, further enhancing its reputation within the community​. We anticipate having attendees from about 40 countries and territories. The 18th IEEE MCSoC 2025 will be a hybrid event in person at the venue or online. Submission of a contribution implies that at least one of the authors will have full registration to the symposium upon acceptance of his/her contribution. Through this symposium, the organizers want to develop an interdisciplinary venue to contribute to and discuss the ongoing innovations, applications, and solutions to challenging embedded and general-purpose computing and design problems.
