This paper presents SAM, a computer aided design tool for specifying and analyzing modular, hierarchical systems. SAM is based on Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) and it uses generic components for specifying coupling relationships among components. The objectives of this design tool are to provide an environment for a user to specify and design systems with ease, and to allow the reuse of previously specified models to build new ones. The later promulgates increased productivity and the applicability of modular approach in the development of complex systems. Furthermore, the design tool analyses a specified system for interface errors which facilitates early testing of the specification before the model is translated into a simulator. The paper discusses how the objectives of SAM are achieved and what are the implementation issues involved. It is envisioned that the specification produced by SAM will be used to map the model onto a network of processors for distributed simulation.
