Abstract :
System models with level of abstractions higher than behavior-level and register-transfer-level are essential to handle the increasing complexity of system on chip (SoC) designs. Recently, many system level abstraction models have been developed. The first part of this paper presents the most stable of these models and their behind design methodologies. The second part shows how these models and methodologies are used for MicroNetwork designs.
