Unifying tool, data and process flow management

Typically, modern design management is achieved through either a data management system or a flow sequence controller. Each is highly productive in specific parts of a design process, but becomes cumbersome in others. A design management approach which is generally applicable throughout the development of a product is presented. It offers flow control and automation to manage readily definable processes, while also being able to ensure data consistency where the task sequence is determined on-the-fly and a process flow cannot be predefined. The capability is part of the Texas Instruments Flagship Design System and is implemented using Falcon Framework technology.<
