ABSTRACT 

In this work. we present the overall structUre of DAME,
which is an expen system capable of configuring and 
designing customized microprocessor based systems from
original specifications. 
DAME [3.4] , is organized as a hierarchy of dcsign levels,
each one of which rerlnes the design provided by the 
previous level. by following established practiccs in 
the field of hardware dcsign. 
In this work, we shall present the general structure of 
DAME as well as our approach in modelling thc behavior of 
the various signals associatcd with the components used 
for the design of microprocessor based systems.
