DRMS Co-design by F4MS
In this paper, we present Digital Rights Management systems
(DRMS) which are becoming more and more complex due to
technology revolution in relation with telecommunication
networks, multimedia applications and the reading equipments
(Mobile Phone, IPhone, PDA, DVD Player,..). The complexity
of the DRMS, involves the use of new tools and methodologies
that support software components and hardware components
coupled design. The traditional systems design approach has
been somewhat hardware first in that the software components
are designed after the hardware has been designed and
prototyped. This leaves little flexibility in evaluating different
design options and hardware-software mappings. The key of codesign
is to avoid isolation between hardware and software
designs to proceed in parallel, with feedback and interaction
between the two as the design progresses, in order to achieve
high quality designs with a reduced design time. In this paper,
we present the F4MS (Framework for Mixed Systems) which is a
unified framework for software and hardware design
environment, simulation and aided execution of mixed systems.
To illustrate this work we propose an implementation of DRMS
business model based on F4MS framework.
