The process of locating components in an available space while satisfying spatial relationships among the components is called packaging. The task requires extensive spatial reasoning about geometric shapes. It is a generic design task common to many domains. It is also very time-consuming, especially as machines become more compact and complex. This paper describes progress toward automation of the packaging problem. An approach is proposed to determine the optimal locations of components in an assembly from spatial relationships between the components. The approach utilizes a novel combination of optimization and solid modeling techniques.
The finite element method is applied to generate primitives that build continuous deformable shapes designed to support a new free-form modeling paradigm. The primitives autonomously deform to minimize an energy funct...

With the increasing density of components on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and the advance ment of fabrication technologies for multilayer PCBs, improvement of speed and techniques for the computeraideddesign of multilayer PCBs has be come a major area of research. The paper discusses the parallel processing of layering and routing algorithms for design of multilayer PCBs on a network of small computers with a moderately high speed communication medium. Multilayer PCB design consists in partitioning a netlist into as many layers as necessary, and routing one or two layersat a time. The routing processes of the different netlists is entirely independent of each other.
A new design model for the creation of mechanical components has been developed. In this model, the shape is expressed by its areas of prominence or maximum curvature, for which we use the term pseudoedges. In terms o...

To enhance project planning and feasibility study for ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) design, a chip estimation system (CES), tightly coupled with a project plan generator system (PGS) has been developed. The CES calculates chip area, speed, and power dissipation from data of a knowledge-based data acquisition system which gathers basic design characteristics, requirement specification data, and information about complexity and problems of a design. The resulting data are transferred to the PGS, which generates alternative project plans based on a design-style-specific knowledge base. Using vendor- and technology-specific cost factors, estimation of design time and design, production, and test costs is performed. The project-control system controls execution of a selected project plan.< >

To enhance project planning and feasibility study for ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) design, a project plan generation system has been developed which differs from known project management systems in the following features. It generates alternative ASIC design project plans and cost estimations by processing ASIC requirement specification data, estimation data for complexity, area, speed, and power dissipation and information from a design style specific knowledge base (digital, analog, gate array, standard cell, full custom), which includes data about design tools, hardware resources, development staff, and design specific economic data. Generation is supported by a set of design specific rules. A project control system allows the manager to control execution of the ASIC design project, to modify the generated project plan, to regenerate a different project plan, and to control activities of the development staff. When the project is finished, planned and actual data are compared and gained experience is stored back into the knowledge base.< >

Today the most often applied DFT-strategy is full scan path. To reduce its overhead a partial scan path can be selected. For minimizing the size of the partial scan path existing testpatterns are used which will detect a part of the faults. Only the remaining faults, so called target faults, have to be addressed using partial scan. Different methods are given to adapt a partial scan path to the target faults. They do not depend on ATPG and therefore have very short runtimes. Results on sequential ATPG-benchmarks show that a strong reduction in the size of the partial scan path is possible. Also the combination of the structural selection and the selection with respect to target faults is proposed. First results prove its effectiveness.< >
