SystemC is the de facto standard for modeling embedded systems. It allows system design at various levels of abstractions, provides typical object-orientation features and incorpo...
In this paper, an internal design model called FunState (functions driven by state machines) is presented that enables the representation of different types of system components a...
The importance of re-usable Intellectual Properties (IPs) cores is increasing due to the growing complexity of today's system-on-chip and the need for rapid prototyping. In th...
The constraint paradigm provides powerful concepts to represent and solve different kinds of planning problems, e. g. factory scheduling. Factory scheduling is a demanding optimiz...
process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
