This paper presents an integrated design environment thatsupports the design and analysis of digital systems from initialconcept to the final implementation. The environment supports bothsystem level performance and dependability analysis from acommon modeling representation. A tool called ADEPT (AdvancedDesign Environment Prototype Tool) has been developed toimplement the environment. ADEPT is based on IEEE 1076 VHDLand uses commercial schematic capture systems as a front end viaan EDIF interface. Several examples are presented whichdemonstrate various aspects of the environment.
