<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">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.</span></p>

Performance of Networks on Chip (DPNoC&#39;2014) 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. </span></p>
