Abstract
This paper describes and proves correct an algorithm for the
initial placement of input and output ports around the border
and interior of a VLSI leaf cell in a symbolic-layout design
environment, given a set of constraints on the relative position
of ports. This algorithm is used in the Stanley [Brinsmead 88]
automated layout system, currently under development at the University
of Calgary.
