Abstract

Vis-a-vis the growing application complexity, embedded software developers are in search of novel design methodologies. Component-based software engineering seems to be a good candidate to respond to this need. We are developing Think, a light-weight implementation of Fractal components that is specially designed for embedded software systems. In this paper, we explain over an H.264 decoder case study how component-based design increases the software reuse, enables the specialization of the underlying system software and unifies the implementation with architectural design while ensuring high performance.
