Embedded electronic system design is currently faced with increasing levels of complexity, heterogeneity, and time-to-market demands. In order to cope with these pressures, abstraction and modularity are becoming cornerstones of today's design methodologies. However, if not accompanied by robust design frameworks and flows, they will not be successful. This book describes a number of frameworks and design flows which use a technique called Platform-based Design which addresses these concerns explicitly. This book discusses the emergence of Electronic System Level Design, the Metropolis and...

Platform-based Design (PBD) is a powerful design methodology to cope with the increasing complexity of electronic systems and demands on time-to-market. The core concepts in PBD include the separation of concerns between functionality and architecture, and the successive refinement of the design by mapping functionality onto architecture. This book proposes a formal two-stage mapping procedure that enables the development of automatic tools. First a common semantics between function and architecture models is determined and an appropriate set of primitives is selected to decide the...
