Abstract :
This paper describes the design and implementation of a distributed object-oriented design rule checker (DRC). The main focus is on the methodology employed to implement this distributed application. Code reusability is achieved using an OO approach, making objects available for other tools, such as circuit extractor. The paper also addresses the application of design patterns, which produce loosely coupled elements, facilitating the integration of system modules
