Power is increasingly becoming a design constraint for embedded systems. A processor is responsible for energy consumption on account of the software component of the embedded sys...
Simulation is a mean for verifying the quality of an architectural specification. Some approaches have been proposed in the past. Each approach has its own internal simulation eng...
Several architecture analysis methods are proposed in the literature for evaluating both the structure and the behavior of architectures. A parallel between humans and software sy...
