Due to fundamental physical limitations on processing speeds of sequential
computers, the future-generation high performance computing environment
will eventually rely entirely on exploiting the inherent parallelism in
problems and implementing their solutions on parallel machines.
VLSI technology makes the design of such multiprocessors feasible. We can 
view these processors as individual chips, several chips on a circuit board 
or even individual computers interconnected suitably to form networks.
Thus, interconnection networks and their performance become an
integral part of high performance computing in general and
designing parallel architectures in particular. 


The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the design and analysis 
of all aspects of interconnection networks and VLSI design issues. Specific
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 o  Network Topologies and Algebraic Properties. 
 o  Routing Algorithms. 
 o  Fault Tolerance Issues: Node and Link Failures.
 o  VLSI Chip Design Issues. 
 o  Mapping of Parallel Algorithms.
 o  Embedding Problems: Static and Dynamic.
 o  Reconfiguration Techniques for Fault Tolerant Networks.
 o  Load Balancing Issues. 
 o  Self-Stabilizing Distributed Algorithms on Networks.
