WWW based structuring of codesigns

This paper describes a codesign environment based on the WWW (World Wide Web) and its implementation. Tool invocations and their respective results are linked using hypertext documents. We show how to configure a WWW browser for spawning design tools and how frequent tasks like documentation generation and retrieval are facilitated. The design flow can be adopted to the given application very easily. In addition we introduce the concept of a work flow called ‘design by documentation’. A WWW link to the results is given and experience using it in a codesign project is described.
