Modules obtainable from a plurality of intellectual property sources are integrated into a single design (10). One of the integration environments for the design is first selected (12) and available ones of the modules within the selected integration environment are also selected (14). Other modules from other integration environments in the event all of the modules to be integrated into the design are not present in the selected one of the integration environments are next selected (20). An integration coefficient is calculated (18) as a function of a number of integration environments from which all of the selected modules have been selected and a number of modules. |
