NSF Workshop on Research Directions for Next-Generation Systems Design and Integration

该研讨会旨在探索和评估电子系统设计的最新技术，并根据指数增长的复杂性和功能确定该领域所需的研究。涵盖的主题包括CAD工具;硬件-软件协同设计;架构仿真（功能和行为）;功能，时序和通信协议的验证;优化编译器;和操作系统。此外，培养设计方法的想法，鼓励重用的组件不仅在物理或逻辑设计层面，而且在功能层面将进行探讨。研讨会报告包括：（1）说明在未来十年内须解决的最迫切问题;（2）就研究的形式和种类提出建议，并就如何实施这些建议向社会人士提出建议。

This workshop is to explore and assess the state-of-the art in electronic system design, and identify the research needed by this field in light of exponentially growing complexity and functionality. Topics covered include CAD tools; hardware-software co-design; architecture simulation (functional and behavioral); verification of functionality, timing, and communication protocols; optimizing compilers; and operating systems. Additionally, the idea of fostering design methodologies that encourage reuse of componentsnot only at the physical or logic design levels but also at the functional levels will be explored. The workshop report includes: (1) a statement of the most pressing problems to solve within the next decade, (2)recommendations regarding the style and kind of research to be conducted and suggestions to the community as to how to implement these recommendations.
