ABSTRACT
Three and a half years ago, we heard about how IBM was using design automation in the design of new computers and started asking the same questions at Norden. One of the early definitions - that design automation was using computers to design computers was quickly rejected. We wanted to use it for designing radars, display systems, and a wide variety of other electronic, mechanical and optical equipment. Any way in which a computer could be used to help design and develop better equipment faster and at lower cost was fair game for investigation.
The resulting applications cover the full range of complexity, illustrated in Figure 1, from simple computations to complex man-machine design systems and automatic optimization techniques.

From Electronic Design Automation to Automotive Design Automation
ISPD '19: Proceedings of the 2019 International Symposium on Physical DesignAdvanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous functions, and connected applications bring a revolution to automotive systems, but they also make automotive design, especially software and electronics, more complex than ever. The complexity ...
Design automation in preliminary design
DAC '74: Proceedings of the 11th Design Automation WorkshopThis paper will explore the role of design automation in the preliminary design process. For this purpose, design automation is considered as the use of computer programs in the analysis and synthesis of a tactical weapon system. The weapon system ...
From Electronic Design Automation to Cyber-Physical System Design Automation: A Tale of Platforms and Contracts
ISPD '19: Proceedings of the 2019 International Symposium on Physical DesignThis paper reflects on the design challenges posed by cyber-physical systems, what distinguishes cyber-physical system design from large-scale integrated circuit design, and what could be the opportunities for the design automation community. The paper ...
