Abstract

Up to now every proposed methodology for implementing dynamic self reconfigurable systems is architecture-centered. In most cases the system development process is time consuming and requires a very specific technical background. Aim of this work is to provide a fast brain to bit design flow whose goal is to simplify the dynamic reconfigurable system development process by shifting the designer focus from the architecture point of view to the application point of view: designers will not need to possess Dynamic Reconfigurability expertise but just to be skilled with the application domain.
