While there has been much talk on the necessity of a major breakthrough in design methods and advanced CAD to support the multi-million gate chips that are already a reality, there has not been a clearly identified new direction which will produce a major productivity breakthrough. This paper attempts to identify one of these productivity breakthroughs, through: an analysis of designer needs, a study of embedded systems trends in the industry, case studies in wireless communications and multi-media.
