Systems Level Design Language (SLDL) Project

Abstract

The objective of the Systems Level Design Language (SLDL) Program was to provide a new mechanism for systems design that will allow a number of models, created in different design domains (or specialties), to share information and to create a unified systems design environment. The resulting language can represent large system descriptions and assist system developers to handle the complexity inherent in designing and understanding such systems. As commercial tools are developed to interact with and use the SLDL language specification, currently known as Rosetta, system developers will be better able to catch design flaws much earlier in the design process, resulting in significant savings in rework and associated development cost. Although this contract funded only 2 years of a planned 3 years effort, it succeeded in providing the momentum which produced results that could be picked up by other efforts. Dedicated efforts from the SLDL committee formed by the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Industry Council and the language and tool developers resulted in continued progress heading toward an inevitable improvement in system level design capabilities applicable to both commercial and military systems.
