Abstract
In this paper, I present several new automata applications in software for electronic design automation (EDA) — chip design. EDA software has typically been implemented by and for microelectronic engineers, and the associated algorithmics remains underdeveloped. In several cases, overly complex algorithms have been used whereas automata could have been applied after abstracting from the problem details.
