Abstract

While constructing a bus interface, mainly two problems arise: On the one hand, the protocols of both sides of the interface have to be described, on the other hand, the transformation between these protocols has to be done. To cope with the first problem, a graph-based representation of Timing Diagrams has been developed, the Trigger-Graph. For the second problem, the partial protocols of a bus are considered by their meaning and are represented as a Simple Operation (SIOP) The SIOPs are independent of their realisation and can be transformed into each other by formal means.
