UML for SOC supplies tutorial approach to using the UML modeling language in system-on-chip design. It assembles the key contributors from DAC 2004 UML and SoC workshop, with some additional contributions to the book addede by other experts who did not present at the workshop. The selected chapters detail the latest approaches to executable UML, UML translations for FPGA synthesis and SystemC simulation, as well as UML-specific SoC methodologies. They give insights into the current state of the art, and the most recent advances in applying UML to SoC design. They also provide a representative overview of current UML activities in SoC design and give an excellent introduction to UML's application in hardware and hardware/software codesign.

A tutorial approach to using the UML modeling language in system-on-chip design Based on the DAC 2004 tutorial, applicable for students and professionals Contributions by top-level international researchers The best work at the first UML for SoC workshop Unique combination of both UML capabilities and SoC design issues Condenses research and development ideas that are only found in multiple conference proceedings and many other books into one place Will be the seminal reference work for this area for years to come Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
