Abstract

An attempt was made to define the algorithmic level of design (also known as the behavioral level) and to provide the designer with the means to explore various design issues. Within the framework of the System Architect´s Workbench, a new set of behavioral and structural transformations was developed to allow the interactive exploration of algorithmic-level design alternatives. A description is given of these transformations, and a set of examples is presented both to demonstrate the application of the transformations and to further illustrate their effects
