Electronic Design Automation (EDA) concerns the correctness, reliability, productivity, and optimization of system construction. It is an interdisciplinary field, where electrical engineering and computer sciences intersect. In EDA, theoretical computer science (including algorithms, complexity, automata, logic, programming languages, etc.) finds rich and practical applications. On the other hand, some of the techniques developed in the EDA community have been much enhanced the state-of-the-art solvers on intractable problems. In this course we will study some representative problems and solutions making VLSI design an automatic process. In particular, we will cover system modeling, optimization, analysis, and verification.
