Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering

Five years ago I founded Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering. We published two issues in 1993 and four issues per year during 1994-1997. The six 1993 and 1994 issues were published as Volume One. In my Editorial in the inaugural issue of the journal ...

Hardware-software codesign is emerging as a global top-down solution to design of reactive embedded systems, starting from high level specifications and going - through hardware-software partitioning and cosynthesis - to link with lower level CAD and ...

In this paper we propose the usage of Transport Triggered Architectures (TTAs) as a template for the design of application specific processors. TTAs can be compared to VLIWs (Very Long Instruction Word processors); both exploit the instruction level ...

The "pervasiveness" of silicon is going to enable the realization of all-on-a-chip systems for a wide range of embedded applications such as automotive, process control and telecom. The maturity of the digital synthesis CAD environments is shifting the ...

Asynchronous control offers potential advantages for embedded sys- tems due to its inherent power-efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility and modularity. However, the current design community isaverse to asynchronous design because it is perceived as ...

This paper presents the main co-design concepts of distributed embedded hardware/software systems through a detailed presentation of a methodology and an environment for codesign. This presentation gives a comprehensive description of different codesign ...

Historically, digital system CAD research has emphasized increasing the size and complexity of the largest feasible design. However, the success of embedded system design efforts may depend more on design exibility and lifecycle cost optimization than ...
