The growing complexity of VLSI chips creates a need for better CAD tools and data management techniques. The rapidly changing nature of the field requires a modular toolbox approach -- rather than a fixed monolithic design system -- and the involvement of the designer in the tool-building process. A short overview over the Berkeley design environment and our recent Synthesis Project is also given.
