The increasing processing power of today's HW/SW platforms leads to the integration of
more and more functions in a single device. Additional design challenges arise when these …

When designing complex mixed-critical systems on multiprocessor platforms, a huge
number of design alternatives has to be evaluated. Therefore, there is a need for tools which …

Design space exploration (DSE) is a key activity in embedded design processes, where a
mapping between applications and platforms that meets the process design requirements …

The task scheduling problem for Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoC), which plays a
vital role in performance, is an NP-hard problem. Exploring the whole search space in order …

Model-driven engineering (MDE) addresses the complexity of modern-day embedded
system design. Multiple MDE frameworks are often integrated into a design process to use …
