Abstract: VHDL and other hardware description languages have become popular as system specification languages
in top-down design. However, their constructs do not support the behavioral specification of
embedded systems. We introduce a new conceptual design model, called Program-State Machines, that
caters to embedded systems. We then describe the SpecCharts language, an extended version of VHDL,
which supports capture of this design model. In conjunction with a translator to VHDL, SpecCharts
can be... (Update)
