This document discusses networked embedded systems and system-on-chip architectures. It covers applications such as automotive, multimedia, and biotech. It also discusses models and methods for design space exploration, verification, and resource-aware computing. The document outlines hardware architectures, software architectures, and system-level modeling, analysis and optimization. It provides examples of using ARTS (Abstraction, Refinement and Type-checking based System design) for modeling, simulation, and applications in multiprocessor systems-on-chip, wireless sensor networks, and automotive systems.
