Abstract
An optimum target system is designed by implementing software modules and hardware modules, without discriminating between the software modules and the hardware modules. An external storage stores the software modules including namespace identifiers for identifying the software modules, and the hardware modules including namespace identifiers for identifying the hardware modules. A module selector specifies a process of a target system to be built, and selects the software modules and the hardware modules that execute the specified process. A namespace manager acquires the namespace identifiers for identifying the software modules, and the namespace identifiers for identifying the hardware modules. A module mapping processor implements either one of the software modules and the hardware modules in the target system, based on the namespace identifiers.
