Platform-based design is a design approach emphasizing systematic reuse, for developing complex products based upon platforms and compatible hardware and
software
Software consists of computer programs that instruct the Execution (computing), execution of a computer. Software also includes design documents and specifications.
The history of software is closely tied to the development of digital comput ...
virtual component, intended to reduce development risks, costs and time to market.
A platform is a library of components that can be assembled to generate a design at that level of abstraction. The platform-based design starts at the highest level of abstraction and carries out the design as a sequence of refinement steps at various levels of abstractions.
