Application and Extension of the Odyssey CAD Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Odyssey CAD Framework is a comprehensive framework intended to provide services for tool integration, data management, task management, and design process management. This report introduces dynamically defined flows: tool independent flows that are built up on demand, by designers. Dynamically defined flows support many framework services and several design approaches, without some of the disadvantages of other flow-based approaches, such as the hardwiring of flows to specific tools. The report also describes extensions to the Hercules Task Manager to implement dynamically defined flows and to improve its functionality and usability. The application of the Odyssey CAD Framework to analog circuit placement and routing tasks, via encapsulation of the KOAN / ANAGRAM II tool suite, is also described.
