  Network-on-Chips (NoCs) have been widely employed in the design of
multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) as a scalable communication solution.
NoCs enable communications between on-chip Intellectual Property (IP) cores and
allow those cores to achieve higher performance by outsourcing their
communication tasks. Mapping and Scheduling methodologies are key elements in
assigning application tasks, allocating the tasks to the IPs, and organising
communication among them to achieve some specified objectives. The goal of this
paper is to present a detailed state-of-the-art of research in the field of
mapping and scheduling of applications on 3D NoC, classifying the works based
on several dimensions and giving some potential research directions.
