The increasing system design complexity is negatively impacting the overall system design productivity by increasing the cost and time of product development. One key to overcoming these challenges is exploiting Component Based Engineering practices. However it is a challenge to select an optimum component from a component library that will satisfy all system functional and non-functional requirements, due to varying performance parameters and quality of service requirements. In this thesis we propose an integrated framework for component selection. The framework is a two phase approach that includes a system modeling and analysis phase and a component selection phase. Three component selection algorithms have been implemented for selecting components for a Network on Chip architecture. Two algorithms are based on a standard greedy method, with one being enhanced to produce more intelligent behavior. The third algorithm is based on simulated annealing. Further, a prototype was developed to evaluate the proposed framework and compare the performance of all the algorithms. / by Chad Calvert. / Thesis (M.S.C.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.
