Abstract
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the
benefits of the multi-paradigm design methodology in
hardware or hardware/software design, and to show that
the advantages to use it outweigh the risks.
We will show that with this methodology we will be
able to develop more resilient specifications and models,
express different behaviors and views of the same
"entity", facilitating design exploration, ease of
specification and libraries development.
We focus on the multiple paradigms of SystemC to
implement typical hardware concepts. This work may be
