| Abstract | Recently, companies selling electronic devices are forced to use components produced by third parties inside their own electronic designs. For these companies the reuse of already developed and improved intellectual properties (IPs) saves time, money and increases design quality [1]. One condition for reusing IPs is their good adaptability to foreign frameworks. For this reason IPs are more and more developed as parameterized objects, i.e. parts of the design stay variable in certain intervals. By now, IP catalogues are o ered on the Internet by companies specialized on mediating IPs. Support for searching a suitable IP is provided by a casebased approach introduced by the READee [2] project of the University of Kaiserslautern. Electronic designs are stored as generalized cases [3] in the case base and a similarity based retrieval determines the cases satisfying the designers requirements. Because of the retrieval result being represented as a generalized case, i.e. a set of point cases, a solution is to be selected from this set (solution selection). Thus the traditional CBR-cycle is extended by the additional step \solution selection" after the retrieval. Regarding of IPs this means the determination of suitable values for each parameter within the IP's design space. Since the design space in the domain of electronic design reuse equals all possible parameter combinations, it is reasonable to ease the selection of a matching parameter combination by an appropriate tool. The selection process is essential if the designer wants to synthesize the design and reuse it in his own application. Since the parameters can strongly depend on each other, an assisting tool could shorten the time needed for selecting parameter values that ful ll the designer's needs. This contribution describes a currently un nished master thesis working on the process of solution selection within the scope of Reuse of Electronic Designs. |
