</span></p>
<p align="justify">The advance in VLSI technology has led to the emergence of Systems on Chips (SoC), where a large number of intellectual property cores are integrated onto a single chip. Systems on chip are of high computing performance and how components
communicate is the key issue in these systems. The bus-based approach used in traditional systems represents a bandwidth bottleneck in SoC in addition to the non-scalability problem. Therefore light weight networks, known as Network on Chip (NoC), have emerged.
NoCs as a promising alternative to the bus-based approach. They have their roots form data communication networks and inherit all issues faced in data communication networks with an extra challenge which is space limitation. As a result, new challenges and
issues on the design and implementation of these networks have attracted the attention of several researchers.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify">The workshop on the Design and Performance of Networks on Chip (DPNoC'2014)
<span lang="EN-US">will represent an international forum for researchers from both academia and industry to expose the latest trends, research findings, and emerging issues in networks on chip.
