Occam structures in control applications

Examples are given illustrating the use of the Occam programming language in control applications. It is demonstrated that numerical algorithms for real-time control and computer aided design may be configured for multiprocessor systems using the Occam approach. The three examples are: 1. Numerical integration., 2. Gradient minimisation with array line search ; 3. Inverse dynamics for a robot manipulator.
