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