Appendix F<br />

Concept Development: Design activities necessary to create the basic specification for a system<br />

(tradeoff analysis <strong>and</strong> partitioning). User supplied constraints ∅ executable specifications.<br />

Simulation: Detailed analysis on a limited number of design structures (thermal, electrical, mechanical,<br />

factory).<br />

Synthesis: Creating new design representations or providing refinement to existing design representations.<br />

Executable specifications ∅ netlists, component sets, test plans.<br />

Physical Design: Floor planning, placement, <strong>and</strong> routing. Specification, component set description,<br />

netlists ∅ manufacturable artwork.<br />

Verification: Analyzing the results of physical design to verify that they meet the design constraints.<br />

Prototype: Construction of a working sample to verify that it meets the design constraints.<br />

Manufacturing: Production of the part.<br />
