Abstract :
Technology and market evolutions in smart-systems call for a new design paradigm which is focused on the integration of the development processes in the various engineering disciplines through timely exchange of models, tuned to the specific needs of the different users. According to the vision of the SMAC consortium, these models should be generated automatically through appropriate abstraction flows. The present paper reviews the challenges related to the design of smart-systems and in particular multi-domain simulation and presents the solutions being experimented in the project.
