Areas of Interest

This workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis and testing of on-chip networks. We also look for new type of NoC-based computing paradigms inspired by biological systems to solve hard computational problems such as learning, recognition, and complex decision making.

The topics of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Topologies selection and synthesis for NoCs and MPSoCs
Routing algorithms and router micro-architectures
QoS in on-chip communication
Mapping of cores to NoC slots
Power and energy issues
Fault tolerance and reliability issues
Memory architectures for NoC
Dynamic on-chip network reconfiguration
Modeling and evaluation of on-chip networks
On-chip interconnection network simulators and emulators
Analytical analysis methods for NoC performance and other properties
Verification, debug and test of NoC
3D NoC architectures
Emerging technologies and new design paradigms
Industrial case studies of SoC designs using the NoC paradigm
Heterogeneity
NoC-based Brain-like computing device
NoC-based platform for DNA sequencing
HPC application and computer servers

Besides regular papers, papers describing work in progress or incomplete but sound new innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.
