'''Platform-based design''' is a design approach emphasizing systematic reuse, for developing complex products based upon platforms and compatible hardware and [[software]] virtual component, intended to reduce development risks, costs and time to market.<ref>Brian Bailey, Grant Martin and Thomas Anderson, ''Taxonomies for the Development and Verification of Digital Systems'', Springer (2005) {{ISBN|0-387-24019-5}}</ref>

A platform is a library of components that can be assembled to generate a design at that level of abstraction. The platform-based design starts at the highest level of abstraction and carries out the design as a sequence of refinement steps at various levels of abstractions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sangiovanni-Vincentelli |first=Alberto |title=System Level Design: a Platform-Based Approach |url=https://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/projects/chess/design/2012/references/Book_Chapter1_2_3.pdf}}</ref>
