Abstract

<font face="Arial" size="&#8211;1">Over recent years, embedded systems have gained an enormous amount of processing power and functionality&#046; Many of the formerly external components can now be integrated into a single System&#8211;on&#8211;Chip&#046; This tendency has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the size and cost of embedded systems&#046; As a unique technology, the design of embedded systems is an essential element of many innovations&#046;<br>Embedded systems meet their performance goals, including real&#8211;time constraints, through a combination of special&#8211;purpose hardware and software components tailored to the system requirements&#046; Both the development of new features and the reuse of existing intellectual property components are essential to keeping up with ever demanding customer requirements&#046; Furthermore, design complexities are steadily growing with an increasing number of components that have to cooperate properly&#046; Embedded system designers have to cope with multiple goals and constraints simultaneously, including timing, power, reliability, dependability, maintenance, packaging and, last but not least, price&#046; The significance of these constraints varies depending on the application area a system is targeted for&#046; Typical embedded applications include multi&#8211;media, automotive, medical, and communication devices&#046; </font>
