{"product_id":"meta-modeling-performance-and-information-modeling-von-jean-michel-berge-oz-levia-jacques-rouillard-hrsg","title":"Meta-Modeling","description":"Models in system design follow the general tendency in  electronics in terms of size, complexity and difficulty of  maintenance. While a model should be a manageable representation of a  system, this increasing complexity sometimes forces current CAD-tool  designers and model writers to apply modeling techniques to the model  itself. Model writers are interested in instrumenting their model, so  as to extract critical information before the model is complete. CAD  tools designers use internal representations of the design at various  stages. The complexity has also led CAD-tool developers to develop  formal tools, theories and methods to improve relevance, completeness  and consistency of those internal representations. Information  modeling involves the representation of objects, their properties and  relationships. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Modeling\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  When it comes to design choices and trade-offs, performance is  generally the final key. However performance estimations have to be  extracted at a very early stage in the system design. Performance  modeling concerns the set of tools and techniques that allow or help  the designer to capture metrics relating to future architectures.  Performance modeling encompasses the whole system, including software  modeling. It has a strong impact on all levels of design choices, from  hardware\/software partitioning to the final layout. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eInformation Modeling\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Specification and formalism have in the past traditionally played  little part in the design and development of EDA systems, their  support environments, languages and processes. Instead, EDA system  developers and EDA system users have seemed to be content to operate  within environments that are often extremely complex and may be poorly  tested and understood. This situation has now begun to change with the  increasing use of techniques drawn from the domains of formal  specification and database design. This section of this volume  addresses aspects of the techniques being used. In particular, it  considers a specific formalism, called information modeling, which has  gained increasing acceptance recently and is now a key part of many of  the proposals in the EDA Standards Roadmap, which promises to be of  significance to the EDA industry. In addition, the section looks at an  example of a design system from the point of view of its underlying  understanding of the design process rather than through a  consideration of particular CAD algorithms. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMeta-Modeling: Performance and Information Modeling\u003c\/em\u003e contains  papers describing the very latest techniques used in meta-modeling. It  will be a valuable text for researchers, practitioners and students  involved in Electronic Design Automation.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781461285809\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance and Information Modeling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781461285809","offer_id":39415259922525,"sku":"9781461285809","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/0c9489f3-6c49-457b-b774-6df8916aadea.jpg?v=1761803025","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/meta-modeling-performance-and-information-modeling-von-jean-michel-berge-oz-levia-jacques-rouillard-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
