Deficiencies in existing methodologies. (3.5)Organization So paper has two goals describe a methodology which avoids the deficiencies of the top down and ASIC approaches fill the gap in the literature, case history with analysis Go about it by describing problems in existing methodologies describing hole in previous literature defining criteria for good methodology present case history evaluating case history against criteria (37)(15)Deficiencies in existing methodologies (In Contrast) available ASIC methodology too low level not extensible top down approach too much source due to multiple levels of description complicated tool set (50)(13)Perceived deficiency in the literature with respect to design methodology.
