Generic design rules for the design of microprocessor based systems in DAME: bus arbitration subsystem

An overview is presented of the design philosophy followed in DAME. It is postulated that systems are composed of interconnected components whose properties are represented as collections of instantiations of standard templates. This gives the opportunity to design with reference to these standards and as a result use very few and generic rules. A specific example of the design of the bus arbitration subsystem is presented to illustrate the approach
