DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Describing parallel hardware and software is diffi
 cult\, especially in an embedded setting. Five years ago\, we started the 
 SHIM project to address this challenge by developing a programming languag
 e for hardware/software systems. The resulting language describes asynchro
 nously running processes that has the useful property of scheduling-indepe
 ndence: the I/O of a SHIM program is not affected by any scheduling choice
