  abstract     = {{The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is now widely accepted by the software community. More recently, UML has attracted attention as a unification language for systems description combining both hardware and software components. First, it has been recognized that electronic systems design can no longer be seen as an isolated hardware design activity. In addition, recent advances in tools supporting high level hardware synthesis from electronic system level languages, which are predominantly based on C/C++, open new perspectives for automatic code generation from UML models and opportunities to enhance the link between a high level specification and a concrete hardware/software implementation. Finally, UML has become a general purpose language which can be customized for specific purposes, such as the modelization of electronic systems. This chapter presents recent advances of the UML language applied to System-on-Chip (SoC) and hardware-related embedded systems design. In particular, several examples of specific UML customizations (UML profiles) relevant for SoC design are summarized. Various approaches associating UML with existing hardware/software design languages are presented. The question of tool support and association with well-known simulation environments, such as MATLAB/Simulink, is addressed as well. A concrete example of a UML profile for hardware/software co-modeling and code generation for hardware/software co-simulation is presented in more details for illustration purposes.}},

  abstract     = {{In this paper we present an approach for the self reconfiguration of distributed micro-controllers for increased fault tolerance. Based on a modified distributed system topology utilizing a time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol, i.e., Flex Ray, we present a self-organized distributed coordinator concept which performs the self-reconfiguration in the case of node failures. We introduce a distributed coordinator, which utilizes redundant slots in the Flex Ray communication schedule and combines messages in configured protocol frames and slots to avoid a complete bus restart. As such, the self-reconfiguration is realized by means of predetermined information about resulting changes in the communication dependencies and (re-)assignments determined in the design phase. To retrieve the necessary information, we present an analytical approach, which determines a combined solution for the initial configuration and all possible reconfigurations for the remaining nodes of the Flex Ray network in case of node failures. Hence, through this method we can design self-reconfiguring network-based systems enabling the handling of node failures for an increased fault tolerance.}},

  abstract     = {{This paper proposes a quality driven, simulation based approach to functional design verification, which applies mainly to IP-level HDL designs with well specified test instruction format and is evaluated on a soft microprocessor core MB-LITE [5]. The approach utilizes mutation analysis as the quality metric to steer an automated simulation data generation process. It leads to a simulation flow with two phases towards an enhanced mutation analysis result. First in a random simulation phase, an in-loop heuristics is deployed and adjusts dynamically the test probability distribution so as to improve the coverage efficiency. Next, for each remaining hard-to-kill mutant, a search heuristics on test input space is developed to iteratively locate a target test, using a specific objective cost function for the goal of killing HDL mutant. The effectiveness of this integrated two-phase simulation flow is demonstrated by the results with the MB-LITE microprocessor IP.}},

@article{26705,
  abstract     = {{In the area of dynamic verification of virtual prototypes, functional coverage is a valuable tool for answering the "Are we done?" question and achieving verification closure. Recent verification methodologies such as OVM and UVM contain multi-language support that provides a basic SystemC version. However, due to language shortcoming they cannot be utilized for the same amount of verification tasks in the SystemC ecosystem as in other supported hardware design and verification languages. In this presentation, we propose to boost the verification capabilities of SystemC by implementing functional coverage collection and evaluation according to the same metric as defined in the widely accepted IEEE-1800 SystemVerilog cover group feature. We implement a functional coverage library to enable coverage-driven verification of SystemC designs on multiple levels of abstraction enabling value, transition, and expression coverage. To our knowledge, the overall functionalities are not available in the IEEE-1666 SystemC standard or the SCV add-on library, nor are they complete compared to the aforementioned in any publicly available SystemC library.
