Abstract

This paper presents a method (CASA-ME) and a tool environment (CASA-TE) supporting the design of computer based systems. The methodology is based on architectural descriptions which not only allow the descriptions of components, connections and composite structures, but also provide a mechanism to formulate architectural related design knowledge. Beside these architectural descriptions CASA-ME also provides a mechanism allowing the formulation and traceability of requirements. Simulation models built with external tools and coordinated by CASATE will be used to validate and verify these requirements. After elaborating on the different concepts of CASA-ME a few words will be said about CASA-TE which is under development. Small examples will be used to demonstrate the different concepts of CASA-ME.
