Title: Knowledge-Based Aids for VLSI Design
Speaker: Tom Mitchell
Date: Thursday, April 19, 1984, 1:30-2:30 PM
Location: Hill Center, ***room 423***
Knowledge-based systems provide one possible approach to dealing
with the complexities of VLSI design. This talk discusses the design
of such a system, called VEXED, which aids the user in the interactive
design of VLSI circuits. VEXED is intended to provide suggestions
regarding alternative implementations of circuit modules, as well as
warnings regarding conflicting constraints during design. The system
is composed of a circuit network expert (CIRED), a layout expert (RPL),
and a digital signal analysis expert (CRITTER). A prototype version of
VEXED has been implemented, and a second version of the system is now
under development.
