Summary on Grant Application Form
The work is part of a larger programme investigating 'an integrated approach to the development of a computer based system products'. The focus of the overall programme is in formalisiing a total design process based on transformational refinement of an executable behavioural model of a complete products so that the implementation of the product is derived from the model. The project concerns itself with the part of the method that develops a system design from a logical behavioural model of the proposed product range.The key elements of the work are: the development of guidelines for system-wide hardware/software co-design, the implementation and assessment of the library objects that support this process; the development of technqiues that permit an implementation to be synthesised from a design model; and an investigation into co-simulation techniques that allow the implementation to be validated. The method will be evaluated through a large, industrial-scale product development in the final year. Much of the work is concerned with the development of the library objects that support a system's operation and will include the development of operating system kernel, processor and hardware support objects.
