Nowadays, embedded aircraft network contains electrical devices which must cooperate in safe and light weight operation. For designing such systems, different local strategies have been developed but no global optimization has been performed so far. In this paper, we present at first two approaches, a classical approach used at the moment and a utopian approach involving all devices in a single optimization loop that should provide the ideal design. Then, a new approach based on collaboration is presented and a particular attention is paid on the data exchanged between subsystem designers. We compare the three strategies applied to the sizing of a whole network of more electric aircraft. A simplified case study with only two components is considered to illustrate methodological issues.
