Abstract
Symbolic layout and layout compaction are closely related topics. Symbolic layout captures more of a designer's intent than does pure layout and allows it to be updated to new technologies. Compaction free the designer from the tedium of adhering to the design rules during layout design. The two techniques together form a powerful tool for automating the design process. In a graph based approach to layout compaction, the most time consuming tasks are constraint graph generation and compaction, In the paper, an incremental algorithm to perform layout compaction is proposed that incrementally decreases the number of edges to be searched in the constraint graph. A theoretical proof to establish the correction of the approach is also provided.
