Abstract

The synthesis tools provided by the MICON system are described. They are M1, which utilizes a knowledge-based approach to represent and apply design knowledge, and the knowledge acquisition tool CGEN, which allows hardware designers to deposit their expertise into M1 without writing any code. The authors explore the development of an automated design environment for M1/CGEN, where computer design knowledge in M1 and CGEN is replaced by operational knowledge creating a generalized system for integrating and sequencing a suite of design tools
