Engineers use software tools to analyze designs for critical systems. Because important decisions are based on tool results, tools must provide valid modeling constructs; engineer...
- This paper introduces the first hardwarekoftware co-synthesis algorithm that optimizes the implementations of ASICs that are used as processing elements for the embedded systems....
Designers of distributed embedded systems face many challenges in determining the appropriate tradeoffs to make when defining a system architecture or retargeting an existing desi...
Designing safety-critical systems is a complex process, and especially when the design is carried out at different f abstraction where the correctness of the design at one level i...
We present an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of function and object based models in system specification. Functional models should be used for functional design space expl...
