Abstract :
This paper is meant to be a short introduction to a new paradigm for systems on chip (SoC) design. The premises are that a component-based design methodology will prevail in the future, to support component re-use in a plug-and-play fashion. At the same time, SoCs will have to provide a functionally-correct, reliable operation of the interacting components. The physical interconnections on chip will be a limiting factor for performance and energy consumption
