Proposals toward an integrated design environment for complex embedded systems
Julian Michael Bass · 2002
Proposals for an integrated design environment to ease the design of complex embedded systems are presented. Complex embedded systems are distributed, typically to achieve demanding performance or dependability requirements, and must operate within hard real time constraints. Considerable effort is required to select optimal design solutions and ensure adherence to specified requirements. The proposed environment seeks to combine iterative and search/optimisation approaches to the design problem. Graphical modelling techniques are used for detailed analysis and to establish feasible design solutions. Integration of disparate detailed models, through co simulation, is desirable to enable the resolution of conflicting trade-offs.
