Here at the Software Engineering Institute, we have created a new tool prototype that helps explore a system’s design tradespace. The tradespace is the possible combinations of system software, hardware, and configuration options. Our prototype – which combines previous work here at the SEI with software developed at Penn State University – enables system designers to evaluate design options in the tradespace rapidly and automatically.
