ABSTRACT

In this work we present and overview of the design philosophy
followed in DAME. We are postulating that systmes are composed
of interconnected components whose properties are represented
as collections of instantiations of standard templates. This
gives us the opportunity to design with reference to these
standards, and as a result we employ very few and generic
rules. A specific example of the design of the bus arbitration
subsystem is presented to illustrate our approach.
