ABSTRACT	Derivation and verification represent alternate approaches to design. Derivation aims at deriving a "correct by construction" design while verification aims at constructing a post factum "proof of correctness" for a design. However, as researchers and engineers gain design experience in a formal framework, both approaches are emerging as interdependent facets of design. The thesis of this work is that alternate forms of formal reasoning must be integrated if formal methods are to support the natural analytical and generative reasoning that takes place in engineering practice. As a vehicle for this research, the DDD digital design derivation system was implemented to study formal hardware design in an algebraic framework. DDD is a first-order transformation system which mechanizes a basic design algebra for synthesizing digital circuit descriptions from high-level functional specifications. The system is a collection of correctness preserving transformations that promote a topdown desig...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
