Abstract

Software engineering requires creativity, thorough design and analysis, and sound design decisions. Design decisions often have tradeoffs and implications associated with them. Therefore, it is important that design decisions are based on sound analysis. With respect to embedded systems, key drivers are often performance and cost. Thus the purpose of this paper is to describe an approach to aid in the design decision process on cost and performance tradeoffs for embedded systems. Specifically, it presents a model-driven approach to understand and communicate the performance-cost tradeoff.
