Hardware-Software partitioning is an important phase in the design of Embedded Systems. Decisions made during this phase impact the quality, cost, performance and the delivery date of the final product. A majority of existing approaches operate at a relatively fine granularity which presents problems if the context is families of products with frequent release of upgraded or new members. Designing using a higher coarser-level granularity imposes component integration and replacement problems during system evolution and new product release. A new approach termed Concept-Based Design (CBD) is...
