Description
During the last decade the field of electronic design automation has changed from a small industry offering a random sampling of commercial and academic design automation tools, to a significant industry comprising offerings ranging from individual tools to total design systems, all based upon a set of emerging standards. Workers in electronic design automation are active in the development of integrated design environments and therefore in the development of frameworks. Frameworks for electronic design automation are rather similar to those for mechanical or software engineering, however the class of tools may differ resulting in differing specific requirements for the services to be offered. The present book documents the results of the 2nd Workshop on electronic design automation frameworks. The question of standardization is of special interest within the book, especially as related to VHDL, EDIF, PDES, and CFI. Also included are discussions of the role of specialized languages for specific environments, and how the user community can help standards to evolve.
