METHODS AND MODELS FOR USE IN DESIGNING AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

A method of designing an integrated circuit comprising at least one requester and at least one target, said at least one requester and at least one target being connected by a connection network, said method comprising the steps of defining at least one parameter for said at least one requester to model said requester; defining at least one parameter for said at least one target to model said target; defining connection information for said connection network to model said network; and producing from said defined parameters and connection information implementation information for implementing said system.
