Abstract

The constantly increasing complexity of today's systems demands specifications on highest levels of abstraction. In addition to a transition towards the system-level more elaborate techniques are necessary to close a growing productivity gap. Our solution to this problem is the application of the object-oriented programming paradigm together with the de facto industry standard SystemC. In this paper we show that this approach is feasible and present the integration of SystemC into a continuous object-oriented design flow. The design flow includes modeling with UML, hardware/software partitioning and synthesis of object-oriented specifications. We support our claim by results from a case study.
