Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for reducing processing time of an automated engineering design. A repository of engineering design rule violations and corresponding waiver decisions regarding the design rule violations is accessed. A clustering operation is performed on violations in the repository to form clusters of violations based on one or more characteristics of the violations. Waiver decisions associated with violations in each cluster are evaluated to assign a risk level to each cluster. A plurality of detected engineering design rule violations associated with an engineering design are identified. Each of the detected violations is iterated through to determine which cluster that detected violation belongs. Detected violations associated with low risk clusters are automatically to approve the engineering design.
