The aim of Surviving the SOC Revolution: A Guide to Platform-Based Design is to provide the engineering community with a thorough understanding of the challenges involved when moving to system-on-a-chip and deliver a step-by-step methodology to get them there.
Design reuse is most effective in reducing the cost and development time when the components to be shared are close to the final implementation. On the other hand, it is not always possible or desirable to share designs at this level, since minimal variations in specification can result in different, albeit similar, implementations. However, moving higher in abstraction can eliminate the differences among designs, so that the higher level of abstraction can be shared and only a minimal amount of work needs to be carried out to achieve final implementation.
The ultimate goal is to create a library of functions and of hardware and software implementations that can be used for all new designs. It is important to have a multilevel library, since it is often the case that the lower levels that are closer to the physical implementation change because of the advances in technology, while the higher levels tend to be stable across product versions.
It is most likely that the preferred approaches to the implementation of complex embedded systems will include the following aspects:

`This book crystallizes what may become a defining moment in the
electronics industry - the shift to platform-based design. It
provides the first comprehensive guidebook for those who will
build, and use, the integration platforms that may soon drive the
system-on-chip revolution. '
Richard Goering - Senior Technology Editor, Electronic Engineering

`"Surviving the SOC Revolution" takes the "Reuse Methodology
Manual" top the next plateau - the `platform'. It goes beyond
codifying best design practices for an `IP black', enabling true
Virtual Componenets. Platform-based design articulates how to build
these blocks so that they can cammunicate without modification -
`Reuse without Rework'. This is the only way to survive the SOC
revolution.'
Larry Rosenberg, Chair of the VSIA Technical Committee
`Coding guidelines and repositories are not sufficient to make
reseuse happen. The information, processes and techniques presented
in this book are critical to the implementation of a successful SOC
design methodology. It covers the more critical aspects of design
reuse: planning a portfolio of certified reusable components that
integrate easily into an application-focused platform. IP authoring
cannot happen in a vacuum.'
