ABSTRACT 

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