Abstract
In this paper, we propose a supervision scheme for incremental design processes, applied to the supervision of hardware/software systems design. Such a frame provides to a design team a common representation for the design objects and the actions to be performed. More over, it proposes a set of primitive operations to manage knowledge in the design process. So, the designers have the opportunity to criticize the configuration of the system, by annotating the experimental results. Due to the complexity and the number of the design parameters, the supervision scheme has shown its significance, even on relatively small systems. This provides an assistant for the design and the retrieval of design objects.
