Abstract :
Emerging “systems-on-a-chip” will require a design environment that allows distributed access to libraries, models and design tools. In this paper we present a framework using the Object-Web technologies to implement Web-based CAD. The framework includes the infrastructure to store and manipulate design objects, protocols for tool communication and WebTop, a Java hierarchical schematic/block editor with interfaces to distributed Web tools and cell libraries
