Network Processors



With the growing relevance and pervasiveness of telecommunications, a good deal of interest has been recently drawn by the study of Network Processors (NPs) since they play an important role in the design of modern routers.

Our research explores the main characteristics of the existing NP architectures and the difficulties intrinsic to design software applications for this kind of platforms.

On the other hand we review the basic principles underlying the well-known Model-Based Development approach investigating how such techniques can be applied to embedded systems.

In this context, we have launched a research initiative to investigate the applicability of models and meta-models in the context of NPs.
