Abstract

The rapid increase in the complexity of systems demands newapproaches to design exploration and trade-off analysis. Thispaper presents an exploration environment that provides a uniformway to perform exploration at the conceptual (pre-specification)stages of design. The environment encapsulates knowledge abouthow to perform estimations in different application domains, andseparates a designer from the mechanics of the estimation process.
