ABSTRACT
As design automation and computer design professionals, we have come to equate VLSI with a chip having 106 devices, or 105 random logic devices, or 105 gates, etc. However, the size argument does not explain what use the system designer will be able to make of such complex devices.

The influence of a knowledge-based system on designers' cognitive activities: a study involving professional web designers
Over the last few decades, several usability knowledge-based systems have been developed to provide user interface designers with usability knowledge (e.g. heuristics, usability guidelines, standards). Such systems are intended to assist designers ...
Position statement - CAD for VLSI
DAC '80: Proceedings of the 17th Design Automation ConferenceVLSI has become a glamorous buzz-word, and much talk has centered on evolutionary and revolutionary solutions to the Computer Aided Design of VLSI circuits. Not being altogether cynical, one may venture to say that CAD for LSI enjoyed a priviledged ...
The VLSI design challenge of the 80's (Position Statement)
DAC '80: Proceedings of the 17th Design Automation ConferenceThe primary focus of design automation for VLSI in the 80's will not be the development of sophisticated new design tools, but rather the development of design methodologies which can utilize effectively 108 transistors/chip. Computer aids will be ...
