Multi-criteria decision making in embedded system design

This chapter introduced a framework for design space exploration of embedded systems. It is characterised by (1) multiple optimisation criteria, (2) randomised search algorithms and (3) a software interface that clearly separates problem-dependent and problem-independent parts of an implementation. In particular, the interface PISA formally characterises this separation. It is implemented in a way that is independent of programming language used and the underlying operating system. As a result, it is easily possible to extend any existing method to estimate non-functional properties with an effective multi-objective search.
