Abstract :
Electronic prototyping, i.e. building a computer model of an object to verify its design, faces a number of obstacles. The Cornell modeling and simulation project, which was created to develop the necessary science base to overcome these barriers, is discussed. In particular, the project´s progress in improving robustness of solid modelers and its ongoing research in electronic prototyping are examined. A key component of the project, a model-driven simulator capable of supporting a wide range of multidisciplinary research, is described.<>
