42: Programmable Models of Computation for the Component-Based Virtual Prototyping of Heterogeneous Embedded Systems
Florence Maraninchi · 2009
Every notion of a component for the development of embedded systems has to take heterogeneity into account: components may be hardware or software or OS, synchronous or asynchronous, deterministic or not, detailed w.r.t. time or not, detailed w.r.t. data or not, etc. A lot of approaches, following Ptolemy, propose to define several ``Models of Computation and Communication'' (MoCCs) to deal with heterogeneity, and a framework in which they can be combined hierarchically.
