This paper describes the Computer-Aided System Design (CASD) system, a proposed collection of computer programs to aid in the design of computers and similar devices. CASD is a unified system for design, encompassing high-level description of digital devices, simulation of the device functions, automatic translation of the description to detailed hardware (or other) specifications, and complete record-keeping support. The entire system may be on-line, and most day-to-day use of the system would be in conversational mode.
