''Smart Systems, as illustrated above, implement very complex functions and are often extremely heterogeneous, with parts from digital and analog electronics, RF, MEMS and other types of sensors, power sources and wireless transmission devices. Currently, no design methodology and tools exist that can master, simultaneously and seamlessly, all of the challenges that designers of smart micro-systems are confronted with when they need to develop new products. These challenges include potential intended or parasitic couplings (e.g. thermal or electromagnetic) of closely packed elements.''
In general, for the modeling, simulation, design and integration of Smart Systems, the scenario today is:
