Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the ICOS system, a design environment for control-dominated reactive systems, which is based on a graphical specification language called real-time symbolic timing diagrams. ICOS offers a broad set of tools to create, verify, and to synthesize hardware or software code from timing diagram specifications.
