Description and Simulation of Hardware/Software Systems with Java

In this paper a newly developed object model is presented which allows the description of hardware/software systems in all its parts. An adaption of the component model, JavaBeans, allows to combine different kinds of reuse in one unitary language. A model based design flow and some tools are presented and applied to a JPEG example.
