System-level design (SLD) is considered by many as the next frontier in electronic design
automation (EDA). SLD means many things to different people since there is no wide …

Today, the design chain lacks adequate support, with most system-level designers using a
collection of unlinked tools. The implementation then proceeds with informal techniques …

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple
processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) …

An essential problem in component-based design is how to compose components designed
in isolation. Several approaches have been proposed for specifying component interfaces …

Cyber-physical system (CPS) analysis and design are challenging due to the intrinsic
heterogeneity of those systems. Today, CPSs are often designed by leveraging existing …

The multidisciplinary nature and time criticality of computing in Cyber-Physical Robot
Systems (CPRS) makes it significantly different from traditional computer systems. This …

The platform-based design (PBD) methodology we present has its foundations in a clear
definition of the different abstraction layers of a wireless sensor network (WSN). At the …

AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is an open and standardized

Metropolis is an environment for the design of heterogeneous embedded systems. The
framework is based on a general system representation called the Metropolis meta-model …

Controller design and their software implementations are usually done in isolated design
spaces using respective COTS design tools. However, this separation of concerns can lead …
