Session 5: Frameworks and model transformations

The software productivity gap tends to increase with both hardware and software complexities. At the same time, new semiconductor technologies will come with an increase of the cost. This long term trend justifies the emergence of new tools to simplify the design process of embedded systems and to optimize the use of available resources in terms of execution time and power consumption. The session will give new results and original solutions to fill the productivity gap for signal and image processing applications.
