Provision and Integration of EDA Web-Services Using WSDL-based Markup

This paper studies the integration of resources (e.g., tools used in electronic design automation) into environments used to implement collaborative engineering workflows. Major attention is paid to the consideration of resources that are available through the web. Requirements that are implemented in the integration approach comprise the support of concepts for re-use and the web standards. The latter is achieved by employing the Web Service Description Language (WSDL), an upcoming XML-based format for mark-up of services residing in the web.
