Design, Automation, and Test in Europe: The Most Influential Papers of 10 Years DATE [Hardcover]

The Design Automation and Test in Europe, DATE, is Europes leading international electronic systems design conference for electronic design, automation and test, from system level hardware and software implementation right down to integrated circuit design. It combines the conference with Europes leading international ex- bition for electronic design, automation and test. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of DATE, we have compiled this book with the aim to highlight some of the most influential technical contributions from ten years of DATE. Selecting 30 papers, only 3 papers from each year, is a challenging endeavor. Although the impact of papers from the first years of DATE can be det- mined through various citation indexes, the impact from the later years still have to be seen. Together with all 10 Program Chairs, we have made a selection of the most influential papers covering the very broad range of topics which is characteristic for DATE.System Level Design.- System Level Design: Past, Present, and Future.- Scheduling of Conditional Process Graphs for the Synthesis of Embedded Systems.- EXPRESSION: A Language for Architecture Exploration Through Compiler/Simulator Retargetability.- RTOS Modeling for System Level Design.- Context-Aware Performance Analysis for Efficient Embedded System Design.- Lock-Free Synchronization for Dynamic Embedded Real-Time Systems.- What If You Could Design Tomorrows System Today?.- Networks on Chip.- Networks on Chips.- A Generic Architecture for On-Chip Packet-Switched Interconnections.- Trade-offs in the Design of a Router with Both Guaranteed and Best-Effort Services for Networks on Chip.- Exploiting the Routing Flexibility for Energy/Performance-Aware Mapping of Regular NoC Architectures.- xpipesCompiler: A Tool for Instantiating Application-Specific Networks on Chip.- A Network Traffic Generator Model for Fast Network-on-Chip Simulation.- Modeling, Simulation and Run-Time Management.- Modeling, Simulation and Run-Time ManaglÃ(
