Abstract

The Sesame environment provides modeling and simulation methods and tools for the efficient design space exploration of heterogeneous embedded multimedia systems. In this paper we describe the Sesame software system and demonstrate its capabilities using several examples. We show that Sesame significantly reduces model construction time through the use of modeling component libraries, hierarchy, and advanced model structure description features.
