Abstract. The paper presents co-operation capabilities of CAD Centre at the Technical University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute" (MPEI) in the area of heterogeneous system design. Proposals are based on experiences of some MPEI teams in joint projects concerning different branches and analysis of objective obstacles and conditions in Russia. As the concrete proposition for co-operation the multimodel approach to system-level design is presented. The problem of system-level synthesis is considered as hardware/ software codesign with result prediction in the early stages of the controlled partitioning accounting adjacent effects. This approach avoids apriority restrictions in the system specification, allows the argument choice of candidates for hardware implementation introducing a set of interactive high-level models for an internal representation.
