The Domino notation is the structured hardware design supporting graphical representation of the hardware description language ABL , the interactive graphical version of the hardware description language KARL . By displaying VLSI layout topologies using structured wiring functions, via slice expressions and layer expressions , Domino notation supports the simultaneous design of digital hardware structures and their structured floorplan layout . When using ABL, domino notation enables the interactive graphic design of wiring structures between module blocks using wiring by abutment by placing such blocks. On the basis of domino notation, the ABL language was implemented as an interactive graphic editor ABLED in the 1980s by the CSELT research center in Turin, Italy, in collaboration with the University of Kaiserslautern .
