Platform-Based Design and the First Generation Dilemma
Jiang Rong Xu, Wayne H. Wolf · 2002
In this paper, we analyze system-level design methodologies for platform-based design. Platform-based design is popular as a way to reduce development time, but creating the platform is difficult. We introduce the first generation dilemma problem--- initial designs are much harder because we do many of the components that will be used to build the system. We explain the origin of this problem and give a solution. 1
