Abstract
A system design support apparatus identifies design information elements each achieving a corresponding one of multiple requirements concerning a system to be newly designed, by using a first table. When multiple design information elements are identified with respect to a certain one of the requirements as a result of the identification, the system design support apparatus identifies a design information element that establishes a combination at a higher aptitude rank among the multiple design information elements, while referring to an aptitude rank of combined use of each of the multiple design information elements and design information elements identified with respect to another requirement among the multiple requirements, by using a second table. Then, the system design support apparatus outputs the design information elements, which are identified with respect to the multiple requirements, to a predetermined device.
