Models in system design follow the general tendency in electronics
in terms of size, complexity and difficulty of maintenance. While a
model should be a manageable representation of a system, this
increasing complexity sometimes forces current CAD-tool designers
and model writers to apply modeling techniques to the model itself.
Model writers are interested in instrumenting their model, so as to
extract critical information before the model is complete. CAD
tools designers use internal representations of the design at
various stages. The complexity has also led CAD-tool developers to
develop formal tools, theories and methods to improve relevance,
completeness and consistency of those internal representations.
Information modeling involves the representation of objects, their
properties and relationships. Performance Modeling When it comes to
design choices and trade-offs, performance is generally the final
key. However performance estimations have to be extracted at a very
early stage in the system design. Performance modeling concerns the
set of tools and techniques that allow or help the designer to
capture metrics relating to future architectures. Performance
modeling encompasses the whole system, including software modeling.
It has a strong impact on all levels of design choices, from
hardware/software partitioning to the final layout. Information
Modeling Specification and formalism have in the past traditionally
played little part in the design and development of EDA systems,
their support environments, languages and processes. Instead, EDA
system developers and EDA system users have seemed to be content to
operate within environments that are often extremely complex and
may be poorly tested and understood. This situation has now begun
to change with the increasing use of techniques drawn from the
domains of formal specification and database design. This section
of this volume addresses aspects of the techniques being used. In
particular, it considers a specific formalism, called information
modeling, which has gained increasing acceptance recently and is
now a key part of many of the proposals in the EDA Standards
Roadmap, which promises to be of significance to the EDA industry.
In addition, the section looks at an example of a design system
from the point of view of its underlying understanding of the
design process rather than through a consideration of particular
CAD algorithms. Meta-Modeling: Performance and Information Modeling
contains papers describing the very latest techniques used in
meta-modeling. It will be a valuable text for researchers,
practitioners and students involved in Electronic Design
Automation.
