For the design of Systems on Chip it is essential to reuse previously developed and verified components, so-called Intellectual Properties (IPs), in order to meet nowadays requirements in reliability, correctness, and time-to-market. On the downside, deciding about reusing a third-party component in a design situation can consume substantial time and resources.

On the downside, deciding about reusing a third-party component in a design situation can consume substantial time and resources. This is especially true in situations where many potential candidates exist due to the large amount of functional, non-functional, and quality related aspects of each component. In order to facilitate the search for IPs in large IP assets, e.g. virtual marketplaces, we have developed the IP Broker tool suite that facilitates the development of IP retrieval solutions by making use of Case-based Reasoning technology. It enables integrators to search for IPs driven by their specific requirements. Applications based on IP Broker can be easily integrated into already existing company sites or portal sites.
