Abstract

The design problems encountered when designing heterogeneous systems are studied and solutions to these problems are proposed. It is shown why a single heterogeneous specification method ranging from concept to architecture is required and why it should cover issues as modularity design for reuse, reuse of designs and reuse of design environments. A heterogeneous system design environment based on cospecification, cosimulation and cosynthesis is proposed and its application is illustrated by means of a spread spectrum based pager system.
