Communicating EDIF objects - a standard-based approach
Abstract
Engineering applications working with open systems in network environments need remote database access as a network service. It is highly advisable to employ a database access mechanism which is based on international standards for communication interfaces. Furthermore it must take into account existing standards fordata interchange formats. Finally, remote access to distributed data in an engineering environment should be data model independent, because it deals with heterogeneous database systems. This paper explains some initial ideas and concepts for an application-oriented remote database access to EDIF-oriented non-standard database systems for design applications in VLSI design. The so-called Engineering Remote Database Access (ERDA) is being developed as a standardized mechanism for local and wide area networks. It is based on the ISO DP 9579 Remote Database Access(RDA), the ANSI RS 548 Electronic Design Interchange Format (EDIF), and the ISO 7498 Abstract Syntax Notation One ( ASN-1).
