Integrated model-driven design-space exploration for embedded systems

Embedded systems and their design trajectories are becoming increasingly complex, and there is a growing demand for performance, reliability, energy efficiency and low cost. To cope with these challenges, decision making early in the development trajectory needs to be supported by appropriate modeling and analysis. To achieve this support, we need to find the modeling abstractions that allow extensive design-space exploration, tune these modeling abstractions towards the users, and integrate support for different types of modeling and analysis
