Integration of Correct-by-Construction BIP Models into the MetroII Design Space Exploration Flow

Design correctness and performance are major issues which are usually considered separately, and with different emphasis, by traditional system design flows. In this paper we show that one can meaningfully connect and benefit from the advantages of two design frameworks, with different design goals. We consider BIP for high-level rigorous design and correct-by-construction implementation, and METROII, for low-level platform-based design and performance evaluation.
