Abstract :
In modern chip design, many different blocks are assembled in a single chip. Normally, these blocks have been written by different developers or even licensed from other companies. Correctly connecting all blocks is a tedious task. State of the art tools for automatically generating the connections either require identical port-names or additional user input describing the intended connections.
