In the past years, real-time embedded systems became more and more complex. From the user perspective, these systems have stringent requirements regarding size, performance and power consumption, and due to business competition, their time-to-market is a crucial factor. Therefore, much work has been done in developing design methodologies for embedded systems to cope with these tight requirements. In this work, we present a basic methodology based on the concept of application scenarios for handling in real-time embedded systems design the dynamism that appears within the applications. As a case study, we apply this methodology for reducing the energy consumption on a dynamic voltage aware processor.
