Design Autom 38 . Design Automation for Microelectronics

Design automation or computer-aided design (CAD) for microelectronic circuits has emerged since the creation of integrated circuits (IC). It has played a crucial role to enable the rapid development of hardware and software systems in the past several decades. CAD techniques are the key driving forces behind the reduction of circuit design time and the optimization of circuit quality. Meanwhile...

Chapter 6 Semantic Web Services Fundamentals ∗

The research area of Semantic Web Services investigates the annotation of services, typically in a SOA, with a precise mathematical meaning in a formal ontology. These annotations allow a higher degree of automation. The last decade has seen a wide proliferation of such approaches, proposing different ontology languages, and paradigms for employing these in practice. The next chapter gives an o...

Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...
