Abstract :
This paper attempts to use the past to predict the future of EDA tools in electronic system design automation. The underlying problem with predicting the future is that we are moving from a well understood area of physical and logical implementation tools into an ill defined area of"system design" tools. Unfortunately, there is a lot of disagreement about what constitutes a system, let alone a system design tool
