Despite the advances in software engineering since 1968, current methods for going from a set of functional requirements to a design are not as direct, repeatable and constructive...
Conceptual design involves requirements analysis, functional specification, and architectural design. It remains informal and poorly understood. We studied the conceptual design a...
An increasingly important trend in the engineering of complex systems is the design of component integration standards. Such standards de ne rules of interaction and shared commun...
Performance estimation of Multi-Processor System-On-Chip (MPa high abstraction level is required in order to perform early architecture exploration and accurate design validations...
Use cases are useful in various stages of the software process. They are very often described using text that has to be interpreted by system designers. This could lead to implemen...
