There has been a proliferation of block-diagram environments for specifying and prototyping DSP systems. These include tools from academia like Ptolemy [3], and GRAPE [7], and com...
The control flow of common processors does not match the specific needs of reactive systems. Key issues for these systems are preemption and concurrency, combined with timing pred...
—Systems on chip are more and more heterogeneous and include software, analog/RF and digital hardware, and non-electronic components such as sensors or actuators. The design and ...
