The capability of predicting the temperature profile is critically important for timing estimation, leakage reduction, power estimation, hotspot avoidance and reliability concerns ...
The evaluation of extra-functional properties of embedded systems, such as reliability, timeliness, and energy consumption, as well as dealing with uncertainty, e.g., in the timin...
