This book arises from experience the authors have gained from years of
work as industry practitioners in the field of Electronic System Level
design (ESL). At the heart of all things related to Electronic Design
Automation (EDA), the core issue is one of models: what are the models
used for, what should the models contain, and how should they be written
and distributed. Issues such as interoperability and tool
transportability become central factors that may decide which ones are
successful and those that cannot get sufficient traction in the industry
to survive.
Through a set of real examples taken from recent industry experience,
this book will distill the state of the art in terms of System-Level
Design models and provide practical guidance to readers that can be put
into use. This book is an invaluable tool that will aid readers in their
own designs, reduce risk in development projects, expand the scope of
design projects, and improve developmental processes and project
planning.
