Abstract

This paper discusses the dilemma posed by the promises made about large-scale integration, and the expectations derived from the promises. Furthermore, it examines LSI's present form. In some instances what have appeared to be "broken promises" are not in fact that at all. Some believers wanted to believe and thus have suffered from self-delusion. Some promises certainly were unwise or premature, thus creating false impressions. But others represented a misunderstanding between component and system engineers.
