We argued in favor of the need of a unified way of thinking about system design as the basis for a novel system science. One approach was presented the PBD that aims at achieving that unifying role. We discussed some of the most promising approaches for chip and embedded system design in the PBD perspective. Metropolis and its successor METRO II frameworks were presented. Some examples of METRO II applications to different industrial domains were then described. While we believe we are making significant inroads much work remains to be done to transfer the ideas and approaches that are flourishing today in research and in advanced companies to the generality of IC and embedded system designers. To be able to do so We need to further advance the understanding of the relationships among parts of a heterogeneous design and its interaction with the physical environment. The efficiency of algorithms and tools must be improved to offer a solid foundation to the users. Models and use cases have to be developed. The scope of system-level design must be extended to include fault tolerance security and resiliency. The EDA industry has to embrace the new paradigms and venture into unchartered waters to grow beyond where it is today. It must create the necessary tools to help engineers to apply the new paradigms. Academia must develop new curricula . 13 that favor a broader approach to engineering while emphasizing the importance of foundational disciplines such as mathematics and physics embedded system designers require a broad view and the capability of mastering heterogeneous technologies. The system and semiconductor industry must recognize the importance of investing in training and tools for their engineers to be able to bring new products and services to market.
