2. 2 October, 2007Christopher Brooks, "CHESS Overview" 2001 National Research Council Report Embedded Everywhere “Information technology (IT) is on the verge of another revolution. Driven by the increasing capabilities and ever declining costs of computing and communications devices, IT is being embedded into a growing range of physical devices linked together through networks and will become ever more pervasive as the component technologies become smaller, faster, and cheaper... These networked systems of embedded computers... have the potential to change radically the way people interact with their environment by linking together a range of devices and sensors that will allow information to be collected, shared, and processed in unprecedented ways.... The use of [these embedded computers] throughout society could well dwarf previous milestones in the information revolution.”

Transform the design through clearly defined abstraction/refinement steps that culminate in a mapping, researchers can explore the system more efficiently. Metro II – Under development, extends Metropolis heterogeneous IP import, orthogonalization of performance from behavior design space exploration.
