Abstract
The development of systems that integrate hardware and software components, using Object Modelling and formal description languages is the aim of the INSYDE methodology and tools1. This chapter introduces INSYDE and shows how this framework offers the designer an intuitive approach to system analysis and design as well as a direct path to high-level validation and links to implementation. This is achieved through the combination of the software-industry-standard OMT method with the SDL language for software and VHDL for hardware, in conjunction with a system co-simulation platform.
