AUTOMATIC DESIGNING APPARATUS, AUTOMATIC DESIGNING METHOD AND AUTOMATIC DESIGNING PROGRAM FOR AUTOMATICALLY DESIGNING DESIGN ARCHITECTURE OF SYSTEM COMPONENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for automatically generating the derivation of a design architecture by reusing the design architecture.SOLUTION: An automatic designing apparatus 100 includes: a rule storage part 105 for storing sets of rewrite rules for rewriting variable nodes of a hierarchically structured graph in a design architecture for the system; a search part 110 sequentially determining variable nodes as application targets for the rewrite rules by searching the graph, including components in the design architecture for the system to be designed, using a search tree; a determination part 115 determining whether the rewrite rule is applicable to the determined variable node; and a rule application part 120 replacing the determined variable node with a partial graph, including at least one of fixed and variable nodes, according to the rewrite rule, in response to determination indicating that the rewrite rule is applicable. The search part repeats searching until an undefined variable node no longer exists in the graph to be designed, and performs backtracking on condition that no variable node is found.
