  Design Methods for DSP Systems
  
Industrial implementations of DSP systems today require extreme 
complexity. Examples are wireless systems satisfying standards 
like WLAN or 3GPP, hearing aids components or transceivers for
home building automation. At the same time, often harsh 
constraints like low power requirements burden the designer 
even more. Conventional methods for ASIC design are not 
sufficient any more to guarantee a fast conversion from initial 
concept to final product. In industry,the problem has been 
addressed by the wording design crisis or design gap. 
While this design gap exists in a complexity gap, that is,
a difference between existing, available and demanded complexity, 
there is also a productivity gap, that is, the difference between 
available complexity and how much we are able to efficiently 
convert into gate level representations. This special issue 
intends to present recent solutions to such gaps addressing
algorithmic design methods, algorithms for floating-to-fixed-point
conversion, automatic DSP coding strategies, architectural 
exploration methods, hardware/software partitioning,
virtual and rapid prototyping, as well as automatic 
testing and verification.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Automatic DSP Coding Strategies 
 o Floating-to-Fixed-point Conversion Algorithms 
 o Automatic HW/SW Partitioning 
 o Architectural Exploartion 
 o Virtual Prototyping 
 o Rapid Prototyping 
 o Automatic Testing and Verification 
 o Complex SoC Design Experience
