Abstract :
SLIP (system-level interactive partitioning), a framework for algorithms that partition and implement complex VLSI-based systems as a hierarchy of electronic packages, is described. SLIP provides a policy for representing hierarchical systems on the OCT data model as well as an attribute mechanism which is used to annotate the representation and to build models of the system. Modifications to the hierarchy are made with routines which maintain the consistency of both the data representation and the attributes.<>
