Abstract

This paper proposes the Tissue methodology as a novel methodology for analysis, design and synthesis of networked embedded systems and subsequent development of distributed architectural frameworks. The proposed method aims at reducing the development time through the use of reconfigurable HW/SW components and the application of automatic code generation techniques. We devise the usefulness of the proposed methodology in the context of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) which exploit Software Radio (SR) technology for reconfigurability issues. Drawbacks of current design and simulation tools and advantages coming from the application of the TM are discussed in the paper.
