Its abstraction from implementation details such as target platforms, operating systems and devices limits the impact of system artifacts and allows a researcher to solely focus on algorithmic challenges. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.enComputer Science, Information and General Works::005: Computer Programming, Programs, Data and SecurityTools and modeling approaches for simulating hardware and systemsBook part10.1007/978-3-642-12331-3_7Other
