Model-Driven Design of Embedded Multimedia Applications on SoCs

This paper addresses the design issue of System-on-Chip by elevating the design abstraction levels, through a model-driven approach. It considers the standard Marte profile, which is dedicated to the Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time Embedded systems. From user-defined models, information are extracted, which serve for the analysis of the models. The adopted analysis technique relies on the synchronous reactive approach, which strongly favors formal validation.
