Abstract
In this paper, we present our approach to assess the performance of an engineering design system in the field of microelectronics using a holonic simulation. Instead of measuring some input and output parameters of the system and applying some metrics to them as common performance assessment approaches do, we build a model of the entire system and simulate the course of the design process using a multi agent system. The performance metrics are then applied to the detailed results of this simulation. The main focus of this paper thereby lies in the simulation part of the approach which we designed to have two parts: a planning phase and an execution phase.
