ENHANCING A REAL-TIME DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING COMPONENT MODEL THROUGH CROSS-FERTILIZATION

摘要

The need for overall optimization of software-hardware complexes has been there throughout the history of computer applications. However, the need for significant improvement in the techniques for achieving it has become very acute as the growth of the embedded computing application field has been in an accelerating mode since mid-1990's. As a natural consequence of it, the desire to have unified modeling approaches that are effectively applicable to both hardware systems and software systems is as strong as ever.
