Models of an Integrated Design Data Base in Support of a Design Automation System.

摘要

This report presents a model for an integrated design data base that will be used within an integrated design system for microelectronics. This report also describes a model of an integrated design system, whose functions include a single, flexible interface between the designer and the design system. These two models provide a conceptual-level design of a Design Automation System; however, the emphasis in this report is on the data base model. The results described in this report are two of the models necessary for the design of a Design Automation (DA) System. The first model is a high-level design which shows the components and the interactions of these components within the DA System. The second model constitutes the design at the conceptual-level of the data base required by the DA System. This data base, called an Integrated Design Data Base, is an integral part of the DA System. The model of the data base defines the data requirements of the design tasks within the microelectronic design cycle. (Author)
