COINS is sponsored by IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA). Moreover, the proceeding will be published in ACM. Accepted papers are allowed six pages in the conference proceedings free of charge. Each additional page beyond six pages is subject to the page charge at 150 Euro per page up to the eight-page limit. ACM will hold the copyright for COINS proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must sign an ACM copyright release form for their paper.

Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the ISI indexed Elsevier journal “Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design” (MICPRO) having the 2016 Impact Factor as high as 1.025


COINS Executive Committee is pleased to announce registration grants for highly skilled students who have an accepted paper. The number of grants is limited, therefore the funding is awarded on a competition basis. We are especially looking forward to applications from the Middle East and Asia.
