Abstract

We describe a system design methodology, well-suited for telecom network applications. This methodology is being developed into a compiler called Matisse. The entry point for this methodology is a system specification model that is first compiled into an abstract machine. The abstract machine is implementation-independent, which permits the exploration of different embedded hardware/software realizations. The proposed methodology and tools bridge the gap between system specification and synthesis tools commercially available. This yields several advantages over the design methodology currently used in industry.
