The main contribution of this work is the seamless object-oriented modeling and automatic refinement of communication. In the application model, communication is specified by method calls on communication objects, independent from a physical communication channel. By means of mapping rules, these application model method calls are automatically transformed (synthesized) and implemented on the processing, memory and communication resources of the hardware platform. This approach enables the exploration and assessment of the impact of different platform configurations and mapping rules on functional and extra-functional properties.} } @COMMENT{Bibtex file generated on }
