Abstract
`Design Reuse' is one of the hopeful techniques to increase the productivity in
ECAD frameworks. To support this reuse we propose a formal model to describe
design objects, design processes, and requirement specifications. Using this model
we introduce a measure to determine reuse candidates from the design database.
We address the consideration of special CAD properties and discuss appearing
problems.
