Abstract
It is possible to raise the abstraction level of the description of a system. Using an effective methodology to separate data and control, we show that a truly executable specification flow is possible, and that it is highly beneficial in the validation and verification of complex systems. This methodology is technology-independent and accommodates a mixture of hardware and software, analog and digital, electronic and micromechanics components.
