Claim One:
1. A method for system scenario-based design for an embedded platform whereon a dynamic application is implemented, comprising: for an implementation of the dynamic application on the embedded platform, determining, over a non-zero time period by a computing device having a processor and a non-transitory memory, a plurality of combinations of values of internal data variables, wherein the internal data variables represent parameters used to implement at least a portion of the dynamic application, and wherein the dynamic application meets at least one guaranteed constraint and has temporal correlations in a behavior of the internal data variables; based on the plurality of combinations, determining, by the computing device, a distribution of an N-dimensional cost function over the non-zero time period, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to one; and based on the distribution, partitioning, by the computing device, an N-dimensional cost space into at least two bounded regions of combinations such that, for each of the at least two bounded regions, the values of the internal data variables in each combination have similar costs and similar frequencies of occurrence.
