     The SIDESMAN system is a silicon design system which has the
following properties:

-	Facilities to ensure that application processes are
	technology adaptable

-	Support for Knowledge Based CAD applications where
	appropriate

-	A range of tools to support a general silicon
	compilation system

-	Access to a specialist hardware simulation
	machine

This walk will discuss the general structure and motivations behind the
SIDESMAN system and will briefly discuss some of the SIDESMAN application
processrs.

The work detailed is part of a current research project being undertaken 
by H.J. Kahn and N.P. Filer
