Composability in the time-triggered system-on-chip architecture

The composition of a large SoC out of pre-validated IP-cores requires an architecture that enables the seamless integration of components, i.e. composability. In this paper we present the five principles of composability that must be supported by any architecture that claims to enable the constructive composition of components. After the introduction of the TTSoC architecture and a description of a prototype implementation we show how this architecture conforms to the principles of composability.
