Abstract
An object-oriented HDL has to provide an appropriate communication concept for communication between objects. Unfortunately, exactly the communication concept can be identified often as a critical issue in several existing proposals for object-oriented HDLs. In this paper we present requirements for such a communication concept and exemplary define a new object-and synthesis-oriented communication model for Objective VHDL.
