Work in progress papers presentation [Session 4]

The WiP session aims to present innovative ideas which are - though not fully mature - able to inspire new ideas and to stimulate controversial discussions. The first paper proposes an API for annotating and monitoring power and energy in system level design models. It addresses heterogeneous designs and claims to be very flexible and thus applicable to various SLDL (e.g. SpecC or SystemC). The second paper addresses the important problem of bringing a from ´black-board level´ design idea to a first executable specification. It does so be applying an ontology based reusable modelling library for IP components that assists refinement of vague ideas or incomplete specifications.
