A model-based, single-source approach to design-space exploration and synthesis of mixed-criticality systems

Abstract

While the Moore's Law is still in place, the complexity of embedded systems continues to growth exponentially. Embedded Systems are implemented on complex HW/SW platforms, requiring more powerful design methods and tools. Electronic System Level (ESL) design [1] proposes to raise the level of abstraction in which the system is modeled in order to allow the analysis and optimization of the system at earlier stages of the design process.
