Increasing system complexity has created a pressing need for better
design tools and associated methodologies and languages for meeting
the stringent time to market and cost constraints. Platform-centric
and platfo- based system-on-chip (SoC) design methodologies, based
on reuse of software and hardware functionality, has also gained
increasing exposure and usage within the Electronic System-Level
(ESL) design communities. The book proposes a new methodology for
realizing platform-centric design of complex systems, and presents
a detailed plan for its implementation. The proposed plan allows
component vendors, system integrators and product developers to
collaborate effectively and efficiently to create complex products
within budget and schedule constraints. This book focuses more on
the use of platforms in the design of products, and not on the
design of platforms themselves. Platform-centric design is not for
everyone, as some may feel that it does not allow them to
differentiate their offering from competitors to a significant
degree. However, its proponents may claim that the time-- market
and cost advantages of platform-centric design more than compensate
for any drawbacks.
