For manufacturers of high-tech multi-disciplinary systems such as semiconductor equipment, the effort required for integration and system testing is ever increasing, while customers demand a shorter time-to-market.
This book describes how executable models can replace unavailable component realizations, enabling early integration and system testing. Using a range of model-based techniques, system level problems can be detected earlier, resulting in lower costs, less rework, and a shorter time-to-market. By coupling the models to the available component realizations in a real-time...
