Abstract :
For pt. I see ibid., vol. 14, no. 2, p. 218-38 (1995). This part of the paper is focused on a novel application of Qualitative Reasoning, which allows modifications of a circuit´s topology to take place in cases where not all performance specifications are met. Within ISAID, this task of post-simulation circuit correction is carried out by the Circuit Corrector
