    abstract     = "Designing complex heterogeneousmultiprocessor Systemon-
Chip (MPSoC) requires support for modeling and analysis
of the different layers i.e. application, operating system
(OS) and platform architecture. This paper presents an abstract
system-level modeling framework, called {ARTS,} to support
the MPSoC designers in modeling the different layers
and understanding their causalities. While others have developed
tools for static analysis and modeled limited correlations
(processor-memory or processor-communication), our
model captures the impact of dynamic and unpredictable {OS} 
behaviour on processor, memory and communication performance.
In particular, we focus on analyzing the impact of
application mapping on the processor and memory utilization
taking the on-chip communication latency into account.
A case-study of real-time multimedia application consisting
of 114 tasks on a {6-}processor platform for a handheld terminal
shows our frameworks co-exploration capabilities."
