Abstract
The design of reconfigurable systems is a hard task due to a huge amount of optimization trade-offs and constraints. Deficiencies at the higher level of conceptual decisions may result in critical bottlenecks of the system implementation. This paper explores the design space and performance evaluation criteria of reconfigurable systems and introduces a concept for an evaluation framework based on these explorations helping to avoid such deficiencies.
