Abstract
The Flow system is used to define methodology for ULSI design tasks in a formal way. It provides a concurrent environment in which such tasks are carried out automatically. The automatic execution of tasks in the Flow system utilize a set of workstations as computing resources. This paper describes the motivation for the development of Flow, the semantics used for methodology definition and the Flow system that carries out the defined tasks. Results demonstrating the systems robustness and superior load balancing technique are presented
