Currently, we try to define a methodology for the expression formulation process. However, the nice things are the following (a) the parameters P and N can be defined incrementally, (b) the algebra is monotone (wrt to the size of the expression), and (c) the mathematical properties of the operations (which are not described thoroughly in the paper), allow rewriting an expression to an equivalent one. This means, that we could easily build an optimizator which will take as input an expression e and will produce an equivalent expression e that has the minimum number of parameters. The designer could use such an optimizator several times during the design process. Ciao, Yannis ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Get A Free Psychic Reading!
