Design reuse in a CAD environment
For many companies, design related information mainly exists as rooms of paper-based archives, typically in the form of manufacturing drawings and technical specifications. This 'static' information cannot be easily reused. The work presented in this thesis proposes a methodology to ease this …

A Model-based Methodology for Strategic Reuse of Legacy Designs in Space Mission Architecting
Design reuse is a common practice in the space industry — stemming from a desire by engineers and managers to realize cost and schedule benefits while buying down risk with proven designs. Legacy design reuse, specifically, is characterized by its opportunistic nature compared to more intentional …

Development of Web-Based Educational Modules for Developing VHDL Models of Digital Systems
… VHDL have made it possible for circuit and board designs to be done without resorting to paper, allowing computers to manage the design database and automate the translation between various representations of the system. Although VHDL modeling can provide a bonanza of benefits, VHDL models must be …

On-die signal integrity monitoring of gigabit serial I/Os
… as crosspoints and other networking products. Design reuse and simple components were the most important design parameters. The system has a small layout, a simple digital interface, and does not require a separate sample-and--hold circuit. The final system has 15 mV minimum resolution, …

An Exploration of Circuit Similarity for Discovering and Predicting Reusable Hardware
A modular reuse-based design methodology has been one of the most important factors in improving hardware design productivity. Traditionally, reuse involves manually searching through repositories for existing components. This search can be tedious and often unfruitful. In order to enhance design …

Technology Mapping, Design for Testability, and Circuit Optimizations for NULL Convention Logic Based Architectures
… less noise and EMI emission, and easy design reuse are some of the benefits of these circuits. NULL Convention Logic (NCL) is one of the mainstream asynchronous logic design paradigms that has been shown to be a promising method for designing delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits. …

Investigation of Model-Based Systems Engineering Integration Challenges and Improvements
… Increased technological complexity has made design, testing, and implementation more difficult. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) promises to help by improving system understanding across stakeholders, managing traceability, complexity, and capacity for design reuse, as well as reducing …

System level performance and yield optimisation for analogue integrated circuits
… the impact of process variations on analogue design has become prominent and can lead to circuit performance falling below specification and hence reducing the yield.<br/>This thesis explores the methodology and algorithms for an analogue integrated circuit automation tool that optimizes …

Facilitating Design Knowledge Reuse Through Relationships
Design reuse is an approach in which the creation of new designs is based on the identification of previously employed solutions and the incorporation of those into new contexts. This notion has been extensively studied especially by software engineers. This research seeks to support the reuse of …

User-Centered Critical Parameters for Design Specification, Evaluation, and Reuse: Modeling Goals and Effects of Notification Systems
… inhibiting scientific growth and knowledge reuse that should help designers advance the state-of-the-art. To this end, we developed a framework (referred to as the IRC framework) for notification systems research based on a core taxonomy of critical parameters describing user goals. Next, we …

Transforming Linear to Reuse Circular Supply Chains
… first studies to focus on the emerging area of Reuse Circular Supply Chains (CSCs) and present an understanding of relationships between SC design and reuse circularity within the context of single-use plastic packaging. Literature demonstrates that in supply chain design, multiple perspectives …

Similarity Assessment and Retrieval of CAD Models
… and highly competitive markets, mechanical design reuse has been recognized as an effective way for manufacturing enterprises to survive by revitalizing existing designs instead of creating new ones. However, existing 3D content-based retrieval algorithms and systems, which have only focused …

Translation of Heterogeneous High-level Models to Lower Level Design Languages
… of a system," because only rarely are systems designed wholly using a purely top-down approach. Commonly, the design approach is a mixture of top-down and bottom-up. But even in this mixed approach, top-down techniques are critical to the development of new, advanced system features and …

A Design Assembly Technique for FPGA Back-End Acceleration
Long wait times constitute a bottleneck limiting the number of compilation runs performed in a day, thus risking to restrict Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) adaptation in modern computing platforms. This work presents an FPGA development paradigm that exploits logic variance and hierarchy as a …

A multiple viewpoint modular design methodology
Engineering Design Re-use refers to the utilisation of any knowledge gained from the design activity to support future design. As such, Engineering Design Re-use approaches are concerned with the support, exploration and enhancement of design knowledge prior, during and after a design activity. …
