One use of integrated System-level Design Automation (SLDA) tools is during the development of algorithm-driven architectures. In this paper, we discuss an approach to structuring SLDA tools that provides application-area designers a flexible range of support for migrating algorithms into special-purpose computer networks. Using digital signal processing applications as an example problem domain, we discuss the motivation and current implementation of a set of design migration tools used to develop real-time distributed architectures as part of the Brown Computer-Aided System Engineering (CASE) project.
