Bus Matrix

What exactly is a bus matrix? I came across the term in ARM cortex M3 specs but couldnt find any proper description. Can someone help?

    The bus is the "glue" that links all of the components (process, memory, etc) together and enables them to communicate.

    More modern ASIC designs have a complex N-to-M bus mapping (multiple masters, with multiple slaves, but not everything can see everything else). This assignment is a little like a matrix (rows are masters, slaves are columns, and each cell determines the visbility of that slave to that master).
