Advances in semiconductor technology, design re-use and tools are enabling designers to put complex, massively parallel multiprocessor systems on a single chip. The idea of packet-switching Networks on a Chip (NoC) offers more flexibility, robustness and better resource utilisation than what is provided by traditional bus-based architectures. NoCs are poised to be an alternative to buses, but should they rather be seen complementary than alternative in the longer term? What kind of new communication paradigms and signaling schemes are more suited for NoCs in order to battle inherent signal integrity and soft errors? Are there fundamental issues about on-chip interconnects that will limit performance and dependability of communication as Moore's Law gradually runs out of steam within the next decade? What about new technologies such as optical interconnects?

These and other questions will be in the centre of this workshop, which will bring together researchers actively working on future interconnects and NoCs. The workshop is also keen to invite hardware and system engineers interested in new developments in this area. In a final panel, experts in the field will address the challenges and opportunities for on-chip interconnect paradigms and project their vision on the current developments in academic and industrial research.

The workshop will serve to launch a new series of high quality symposia, targetted at Networks on Chip and Interconnects. The need for such a dedicated forum is increasingly recognised due to the steady growth in research activity and contributions that are currently spread over multiple conferences in diverse areas such as architecture, circuits, CAD and networking. It will also provide an excellent thematic framework for interaction between industry and academia.
