Interconnection Network Architecture:
On-Chip, Multi-Chip (INA-OCMC)

The Workshop

INA-OCMC is a network oriented workshop presenting original work in the field of on-chip, multi-chip interconnection network architecture. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and engineers from industry and academia to share ideas and thoughts about networking of devices in both the off-chip and the on-chip environment, each with its own design constraints. This is the sixth edition of the workshop. In the previous editions the workshop exhibited a competent audience and interesting discussions arose from the different presentations of authors and from the keynote, thus promoting joint research initiatives.

Technical Scope

Original papers describing new and previously unpublished results are solicited on all aspects of interconnection network architectures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Networks-on-Chip (NoC)

• Multi-Chip Interconn. Networks, including Cluster Interconnects

• "Commodity Switches" as general-purpose building blocks

• Switching, buffering, and routing architectures

• Flow control and congestion management in switching fabrics

• Virtualization

• Topology exploration

• Timing, synchronous/asynchronous communication

• Reliability, availability, fault tolerance

• Area/power versus functionality/QoS support in NoC architectures

• Programming models for NoC-centric systems

• Design space exploration

• NoC physical link design

• NoC testing and verification

Submissions from EU projects in progress as well as seminal work and new ideas to stimulate advances in the field are also encouraged. The program committee recognizes that such papers may contain fewer experimental results than papers in established areas.
