    11The emerging complex and integrated heterogeneous embedded system platforms require
    2 adequate design methods  to efficiently model, explore, analyze and design the ever complex software
    3 and hardware architectures. Future Embedded Systems suppliers, in order to meet rapidly increasing
    4 performance requirements and a pressure to lower development cost and shorten time-to-market,
    5 will have to adopt new design methods and flows in order to keep pace with the increasing

     5will have to adopt new design methodologies and flows in order to keep pace with the increasing
    66complexity of design problems. Such methods, addressing these challenges starting from high levels of
    77abstraction, will have to perform large solution space explorations both for software and (possibly
    88reconfigurable) hardware, reducing the design effort and offering a high predictability of results
    99with respect to cost and performance objectives.

    1011Current design methodologies provide quite low-level abstraction capabilities. However in a few years
    11 from now tens of programmable processors will be embedded in an IC with more than 100M
     12from now, tens of programmable processors will be embedded in an IC with more than 100M
    1213transistors, therefore adding to the complexity of the problem of designing such systems.
