This publication covers electronic system-level design, simulation, and the engineering practices that shape modern embedded systems. The articles here explore how architects and development teams use modeling and simulation to make better decisions earlier in the design cycle.
Topics include ESL methodology and its role in chip manufacturing, system-level modeling standards like UML, SysML, and MARTE, and the practical challenges of simulating multicore and heterogeneous SoC architectures. The writing is aimed at practicing engineers, architects, and technical leads who work with or are evaluating system-level approaches.
Each article is written with a focus on practical application rather than theoretical overview. The goal is to provide the kind of technical depth that helps teams make informed decisions about their modeling and simulation practices, grounded in the realities of embedded development timelines and the economics of hardware-software co-design.
