Abstract
A framework is presented for constructing knowledge-based aids for design problems. In particular, we describe the organization of an interactive knowledge-based consultant for VLSI design (called VEXED¿an acronym for VLSI expert editor), and a prototype implementation of VEXED. The paper focuses on the principles underlying the design of VEXED, and on several lessons and research issues that have arisen from implementing and experimenting with this prototype.
