Reduction of the problems complexity is possible by decomposing it in several dimensions: as a sequence of models, through hierarchy within models, and by utilization of regularity. The set of models, model-to-model transformations and design constraints define the design method supported by the CAD system.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-85-04}
