Editorial for the Special Issue on Network on Chip (NoC) and Reconfigurable Systems.

In a multiprocessor System-on-Chip (SoC), efficient communication between the associated processors has to be addressed at all levels of the system design to guarantee global interconnection [...

A Model-Driven Platform for Dynamic Partially Reconfigurable Architectures: A Case Study of a Watermarking System.

The reconfigurable feature of FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) has made them a very attractive solution for implementing adaptive systems-on-chip. However, this implies additional design tasks to handle system reconfiguration and control, which increases design complexity. To address this issue, this paper proposes a model-driven design flow that guides the designer through the description of the different elements of a reconfigurable system.
