Synopsis

Although VLSI chip design and expert systems are growing to maturity, each in its particular domain, their integration (i.e. the application of expert systems in chip design) is still in its infancy. Publications on applications of expert systems in chip design are distributed among a multitude of books, specialized journals and conference proceedings. There is an urgent need for a book that integrates the scattered bits of knowledge into a unified and comprehensive text. The purpose of this book is to fill this need.
The book gives a comprehensive overview of all possible applications of expert systems in the different stages of the chip design cycle. Descriptions of implemented expert systems give the reader a sufficient amount of knowledge as to where we are now so that we can assess future developments on a reasonable basis. At the same time, fundamentals are emphasized to give the book a lasting value.
Up to now, books on related subjects have been restricted to a single specific subtask in chip design, e.g. either for high-level logic design, routing or testing. This book is unique in that it gives an overview of the applicability of expert systems in all phases of the chip design cycle. The comprehensiveness of the subject matter is reflected in the bibliography, which contains more than 1000 references.
