The focus of Dr. Beetem's work is incremental CAD tools, that is,               design tools that support and take advantage of an incremental                  design methodology.  An example is an incremental router which                  reroutes changed wires, but leaves the majority of the unchanged                wires alone.  A non-incremental router reroutes all wires even                  when only one is changed.  This research explores both                          incremental tools and interaction between these tools in a design               system.  Of particular importance in Dr. Beetem's research is                   incremental simulation, which has the potential for an order of                 magnitude increase in performance over non-incremental                          simulation.  Several new, incremental simulation concepts are                   being explored as part of this research.  Prototype tools are                   used to design digital hardware, thereby assessing productivity                 of the new tools.
