A services provision system provides information services over one or more communications networks and has a software infrastructure divided into domains. Each domain has an intelligent software agent and this community of agents sits in a computing environment represented in each domain by a DPE kernel. The community of agents co-operates to provide service and service management functionality to a user. At least one of the agents is reconfigurable to change the functionality the system makes available. Reconfigurability is based on the use of a plurality of reusable software modules, the agent reconfiguring by selecting a new combination of modules. The software modules themselves incorporate rules, or policies, which determine process steps offered by the modules at run-time. These policies are external to the modules and may be loaded at run-time, allowing dynamic modification to functionality of the system. The system as a whole offers functionality associated with using services, providing them and managing them and the reconfigurability allows it to offer the different types of functionality in an efficient way. It also allows access control to functionality at different levels with particularly good security against fraudulent use.

A hierarchical representation encapsulates the detailed internal composition of a sub-circuit using the notion of a cell definition (a CellDef). The CellDef serves as a natural unit for operational reuse. If the computation required for the analysis or manipulation (e.g. parasitic extraction, RET, design rule confirmation (DRC), or OPC) based on a CellDef or one cell instance can be applied, with no or minimal additional effort, to all or a significant subset of other instances of the cell, very substantial reduction in computational effort may be realized. Furthermore, a hierarchical representation also allows for the partitioning of the overall analysis / manipulation task into a collection of subtasks, e.g. one per CellDef. Multiple jobs may then be distributed across a large number of computational nodes on a network for concurrent execution. While this may not reduce the aggregate computational time, a major reduction in the overall turnaround time (TAT) is in itself extremely beneficial.
