In an embedded system, it is common to have several memory areas with different properties, such as access time and size. An access to a specific memory area is usually restricted...
Increased systems level integration has meant the movement of many traditionally off chip components onto a single chip including a processor, instruction storage, data path, and ...
Synchronous programming languages have proved to be advantageous for designing software and hardware for embedded systems. Despite their clear semantics, their compilation is rema...
In this paper we describe a vision for the future evolution of Embedded SW (ESW) design methodologies as part of overall Embedded Systems (ES) development. Fundamentally, we belie...
Energy consumption is a crucial factor in designing batteryoperated embedded and mobile systems. The memory system is a major contributor to the system energy in such environments...
