Design Space Exploration (DSE) is the exploration of design alternatives before the implementation. Existing DSE frameworks are domain-specific where the representation, evaluation method as well as exploration algorithm are tightly coupled with domain-dependent assumptions. Although the tasks involved in DSE are similar, the inflexibility of the existing frameworks restricts their reuse for solving DSE problems from other domains.
This paper presents an MDE-based approach for generalizing DSE techniques. The framework supports a reconfigurable representation of a design space, which is decoupled from exploration algorithm. The framework can be configured to solve DSE problems from different domains and enables the designer to experiment with different approaches to solve the same problem with minimum effort. The main contributions of this framework are: (1) rapid modeling of DSE problems, (2) reuse of previously defined artifacts, (3) multiple solver support and (4) a tool for scalability study.
