Abstract
Designing complex system composed of many different subcomponents is a major challenge in software engineering. This paper deals with the system theoretical aspects of this problem and as a typical example discusses a CAD system for printed circuit boards and application specific integrated circuits. The appropriate infrastructure (framework) for such a system, consisting of a user interface, a data management facility as well as a design management component is presented in detail.
