Abstract
A method for designing an electronic system having at least one digital part. The method includes representing a behavioral description of the system as a first set of objects with a first set of relations therebetween. Furthermore, the method includes refining said behavioral description into an implementable description of said system, said implementable description being represented as a second set of objects with a second set of relations therebetween. Also, the method includes retaining at least one of said second objects for reuse in the design of a second electronic system.
