  ABSTRACT: The authors present a constraint-driven, object-oriented approach to configuration management within a VHDL design environment called SDE. A configuration is generated from a generic design in such a way that technology-specific cells are bound to the generic components of the design. In the approach, user-defined constraints are exploited to efficiently organize versions and to generate workable configurations. They are also used for providing the formal definitions of various relationships between cells, making it possible to easily explore versions of a configuration by substituting other cells with a certain relationship, e.g., replaceability, for its already bound cells. To retrieve cells that satisfy constraints for a configuration to be generated, the authors suggest an object-oriented query model based on a graph model

  ABSTRACT: A system-level design environment (SDE) for the VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) is presented. The object-oriented approach is used for modeling the VHDL entities, design constraints, and even design patterns. The data model and its internal schema, which are suitable for the VHDL semantics, are proposed. SDE allows a designer to reconfigure the designed schematic by binding its generic components to technology-specific ones. It is effectively used for version control. SDE verifies the design by dynamically checking the constraints. The standard VHDL is extended in order to represent the constraints properly
