6 Preface This book was mainly catalyzed by the SoC-Mobinet EU-project (IST ), where the editors have acted in to create the European System-on-Chip infrastructure for joint research and education. The topic was seen very important especially after writing the previous book (Networks on Chip) where the higher-level on-chip communication issues were tackled. In this book, we have tried to create a comprehensive understanding about on-chip interconnect characteristics, design methodologies, layered views on different abstraction levels and finally about applying the interconnect-centric design in system-on-chip design. We owe very much to the authors of this book, who represent the expertise on different aspects of interconnects, communication and system-on-chip and network-on-chip development worldwide. One major contributing project was also the Complain (Communication platform architectures for gigascale integration) project in the Finnish-Swedish EXSITE research programme, mainly supported by TEKES, Vinnova, Nokia and Ericsson. We were happy to have such a good crew to assist us in creating the book for the interested readers in this field. We hope that you enjoy the book and, even more, wish that it will be of professional benefit to you! Tampere, Stockholm, Turku January 2004 JARI NURMI HANNU TENHUNEN JOUNI ISOAHO AXEL JANTSCH
