Abstract
‘Design Reuse’ is one of the hopeful techniques to increase the productivity in ECAD frameworks. To support this reuse we propose a formal model to describe design objects, design processes, and requirement specifications. Using this model we introduce a measure to determine reuse candidates from the design database. We address the consideration of special CAD properties and discuss appearing problems.
