Bridging the high-level model to execution platform for design space exploration and implementation

This paper presents a new modeling methodology for embedded systems. This methodology fills the gap between high-level AADL models and the hardware execution platform described at low-level. It enables an architectural exploration phase at different levels of abstraction to refine and increase system’s performances. The main objective of the proposed approach is to reduce the complexity of development, while improving system’s robustness and enhance product quality. This is achieved through virtual prototyping of the complete system to perform early validation in the design flow
