The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors depicts the on–chip communication issues as the limiting factors for performance and power consumption in current and next generation SoCs. Design in the era of ultra–deep submicron (UDSM) silicon is mainly dominated by issues concerning the communication infrastructure. While SoCs consisting of tens of cores were common in the last decade, common predictions foresee that the next generation of many–core SoCs will contain hundreds or thousands of cores. In the many–core era, as the number of cores residing on the same SoC increases significantly, the communication solutions also need to change drastically in order to support the new inter–core communication demands. It is nowadays widely recognized that Network–on–Chip (NoC) architectures represent the most viable solution to cope with scalability issues of future many–cores systems and to meet performance, power and reliability requirements which characterize future ambient intelligent applications.</FONT></P> <P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas–microsoft–com:office:office" /><FONT face=Arial> </FONT></P> <P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial>The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to design and implementation of multi–core systems on chip.</FONT></P> <P><STRONG>Keywords:</STRONG> </P> <LI>Architectures and Topologies for NoCs and MPSoCs <LI>Routing algorithms and Router Micro–architectures <LI>Fault tolerance, reliability and testing issues <LI>Dynamic on–chip network reconfiguration <LI>Modeling and evaluation of on–chip networks <LI>Design space exploration and tradeoff analysis <LI>On–chip interconnection network simulators and emulators <LI>Industrial case studies of SoC designs using the NoC paradigm </LI>
