Title: Model-Based Design of Embedded Systems
Abstract:
Model-Based Design is presented as consisting of four elements:
(i) executable specification, (ii) design with simulation,
(iii) implementation through code generation, and (iv) continuous test and
verification.
This presentation concentrates on the combined design and implementation
as model elaboration. It is shown how the design of an edge detection filter
can be systematically brought to an implementation by comparing a reference algorithm to an increasingly detailed representation of the implementation.
Automatic program synthesis allows the generation of C code or a representation
in a hardware description language (HDL). The HDL emulation can then be
co-simulated in the system context to study behavior of an implementation
at a cycle accurate level. This reduces expensive hardware iteration,
facilitates analysis of system characteristics with detailed component
implementation models, and mitigates the need for extensive testbench design.
Bio:
Dr. Pieter Mosterman was born in the Netherlands. In 1985 he started the B.Sc.
program at the University of Twente which he received in 1987,
followed by his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Control Laboratory in 1991.
In 1992 he enrolled in the Ph.D. program of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN,
and graduated at the Center for Intelligent Systems in 1997 with a Ph.D.
He is a senior research scientist at The MathWorks, Inc. in Natick, MA.
