Abstract
Configuration management is an essential service to be provided by electronic design automation frameworks. Besides conventional static and dynamic configurations, normally offered by most systems, the STAR framework supports specialized facilities, such as open configurations (as in VHDL), the automatic resolution of open and dynamic configuration through expressions on object properties, and the manual resolution of these configurations by means of a graphical-interactive database browser. Unlike other systems, the STAR configuration manager is a separate framework module which the final user can directly reach through the main user interface. Furthermore, the STAR configuration management mechanisms respond to novel requirements, imposed by powerful versioning services.
