This report describes the design of a JBIG encoder, based on the ITU-T Recommendation T.82, using the SpecC system level design methodology being developed at CAD Lab, UC Irvine. We begin with an executable specification in SpecC, and explore design alternatives for the system architecture, and refine the specification into a final communication model where the communication protocols between the system components are defined. In this report, we document the different design stages undergone, and also the results in the process.
