| iii iv Digital systems are integrated in our environment and have become a natural part of our every day life. As we rely more on these systems our expectations on them increase. We expect them to perform new tasks, communicate and cooperate. The complexity of these systems is increasing. The increasing complexity and the requirement for flexibility, which allows the system to adapt and evolve over time, make them difficult to design and realise using existing techniques and tools. This thesis addresses different problems in the design process of flexible digital systems. We present our computational model Image Processing-Data Flow Graph (IP-DFG), a computational model tailored for modelling and implementation of image processing algorithms. IP-DFG is based on Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), which have been extended with hierarchy and explicit support for | |||||||||||||||
