Award-winning Doctoral Thesis
The thesis describes the results of cutting-edge research.
Scope: https://artemis-ia.eu/
Conducted in the scope of award-winning EU project SOFIA. The thesis describes the novel methodologies developed by Dr Subayal khan. These methodologies help a system architect to evaluate the feasibility of the distributed embedded systems in different application domains at an early phase and eradicate the shortcomings of the existing approaches and enables faster design iterations.
Therefore, the System Level Performance Evaluation (SLPE) approaches presented in the thesis provide reliable estimates of the non-functional properties. In this way, the system designer can determine the potential impact of an application in terms of utilization of the platform used by the device at an early phase. The novel methodologies presented in this thesis allow the system designer to identify the potential bottlenecks in the system and evaluate the non-functional properties with a high level of accuracy. This leads to an optimal system design much faster as compared to the other approaches at that time.
