  abstract     = {{Refinement of untimed TLM models into a timed HW/SW platform is a step by step design process which is a trade-off between timing accuracy of the used models and correct estimation of the final timing performance. The use of an RTOS on the target platform is mandatory in the case real-time properties must be guaranteed. Thus, the question is when the RTOS must be introduced in this step by step refinement process. This paper proposes a four-level RTOS-aware refinement methodology that, starting from an untimed TLM SystemC description of the whole system, progressively introduce HW/SW partitioning, timing, device driver and RTOS functionalities, till to obtain an accurate model of the final platform, where SW tasks run upon an RTOS hosted by QEMU and HW components are modeled by cycle accurate TLM descriptions. Each refinement level allows the designer to estimate more and more accurate timing properties, thus anticipating design decisions without being constrained to leave timing analysis to the final step of the refinement. The effectiveness of the methodology has been evaluated in the design of two complex platforms.}},

  abstract     = {{In this paper, we experimentally evaluate algorithms for velocity estimation of a GSM 900 mobile terminal which are based on the analysis of the statistical properties of the fast fading process. It is shown how theses statistics can be obtained from the training sequences present in downlink transmission bursts without establishing an active connection. Realistic simulations of a GSM channel according to the COST 207 channel models have been conducted. These models incorporate effects like multipath propagation, fading, cochannel interference and additive noise. It is shown that velocity estimation by searching for the maximum slope of the power density spectrum of the fast fading performs best.}},

This article addresses the application of animated virtual 3D prototypes for the development of computer-based systems supporting early collaboration of the system designer with the external customer. Our methodology seamlessly integrates illustration through 3D animation with the main tasks of computer-based real-time systems development, i.e., implementation and verification. The approach is outlined by the example of the design of a flexible manufacturing system.}},

Our definition covers the full behavior of signal and variable assignments as well as the behavior of the various wait statements including delta, time, and postponed cycles. We consider explicitly declared signals, ports, local variables, and shared variables. Our specification defines an abstract VHDL ’ 93 interpreter in the form of transition rules for an evolving algebra machine (EA-Machine) [60]. It faithfully reflects and supports the view of simulation given in the IEEE VHDL ’ 93 standard language reference manual. The definition can be understood without any prior formal training. We illustrate our definition by running the example VHDL program set out in the Introduction to this volume.}},
