Constant research and development activities have been conducted in three separated general areas: (1) computing algorithms, (2) computing systems modeling (description), and (3) computing systems implementation automation. This dissertation addresses the overall computer systems design and simulation automation by concentrating on the critical research area of computer systems modeling to provide the necessary connexions to the other two research areas. An automata-theory-based modeling technique is developed to model any computer system for implementation as well as system-structures verification and evaluation against the implemented algorithms. While the modeling technique itself and its derived methodology take care of the implementation aspect, the system-structures verification and evaluation against the implemented algorithms are achieved by the definition of a universal micro-programming language. The defined universal micro-programming language together with the modeling technique creates an environment for automatic code generation and overall system evaluations. The result is a computer systems development environment that allows convenient and economical investigations and evaluations of different algorithms as well as system structures for final implementation transformation.
