Abstract :
The object of this paper is to propose an ASIC design model that incorporates two aspects: design as a decision-making process and expert-like knowledge-based design control. The authors provide a integrated solution for the following important issues: incremental propagation of design characteristics, checking for design specification violation, evaluation of the quality of a design, and choosing the most appropriate solution. This paper attempts to make a step towards the building of a theoretical framework for knowledge-based design control based on the decision theory and expert systems methodology
