Abstract
A technique for automatically producing a rectilinear planar drawings of interconnection networks is described. It is based on the Layered Cross Product suggested by Even and Litman. The technique is demonstrated on the Butterfly network, the binary tree and the Meshof-Trees of Leighton.
On leave from the Computer Sci. Dept., Technion — Israel Inst. of Tech., Haifa, Israel 32000. Research was partly supported by the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation, grant No. 94-00266/1.
