SystemC Kernel Extensions for Heterogeneous System Modeling: A Framework for Multi-MoC Modeling & Simulation

From the reviews:

"In summary, this monograph is a useful step forward in devising, proving and documenting SystemC simulation kernel enhancements for multi-domain system modeling."
(Grant Edmund Martin, Chief Scientist, Tensilica, Inc., Santa Clara, California, April 2004)
"State-of-the-art research in models of computation, design analysis and synthesis can be integrated with everyday engineering practice and can efficiently be made available to designers of embedded systems and SoC. For me this is the main message of this book. I expect this work to have a major impact on the EDA tool landscape and design methodologies because it will help to close the gap between theory and practice."
(Axel Jantsch, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden)
"SystemC Kernel Extensions for Heterogeneous System Modeling is a welcome addition to the SystemC literature. This book is worthwhile reading."
(John Sanguinetti, Chief Technology Officer, Forte Design Systems)
"This book is an excellent guide for anyone interested in System Level Design or high level modeling with SystemC."
(Andy Goodrich, Forte Design Systems)

"The book describes extensions of the SystemC prototype towards more heterogeneity. Results are kernels for communicating sequential processes and finite state machine models of computation. ... People working in the fields of system level design will find an useful guide." (Werner Brecht, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1060 (11), 2005)
