Abstract

This paper presents a new VLSI design management system. Unlike existing systems it models and stores not only the design data but also a description of the design process itself. This information is accumulated and used to present the designer with alternative design methodologies and to suggest the most promising one, based on previous designs. Experimental results on 22 simple designs indicate that the system selected the most appropriate methodology in 81% of the cases.
