Platform-based design is a design approach emphasizing systematic reuse, for developing complex products based upon platforms and compatible hardware and software virtual component, intended to reduce development risks, costs and time to market.
[1] A platform is a library of components that can be assembled to generate a design at that level of abstraction.
The platform-based design starts at the highest level of abstraction and carries out the design as a sequence of refinement steps at various levels of abstractions.
