Embedded System Design: Modeling, Synthesis and Verification introduces a model-based
approach to system level design. It presents modeling techniques for both computation and …

Introduction to Hardware-Software Co-Design presents a number of issues of fundamental
importance for the design of integrated hardware software products such as embedded …

Existent hardware-software (HW-SW) codesign tools mainly focus on HW-SW cosimulation
to build a virtual prototy** environment that enables software design and system …

Signal processing is a prime application for very large scale integration (VLSI) technology
and systems-on-chips (SoCs), so it should be no surprise that a great deal of effort has been …

The terms Ubiquitous and Pervasive computing were first coined at the beginning of the
90's, by Xerox PARC and IBM respectively, and capture the realization that the computing …

Embedded systems are usually composed of several interacting components such as
custom or application specific processors, ASICs, memory blocks, and the associated …

High-Performance Embedded Computing, Second Edition, combines leading-edge
research with practical guidance in a variety of embedded computing topics, including real …

This paper relates to system-level design of signal processing systems, which are often
heterogeneous in implementation technologies and design styles. The heterogeneous …

We present a new hardware-software co-simulation framework enabling fast prototy** in
system-on-chip designs. On the software side, the machine description language LISA …
